Where a nation’s hearts beat as one
For the day in Blacksburg, Virginia
Where one man took so many with a gun
It’s a quiet, friendly place, Blacksburg, Virginia
Where the mountains and the rivers all run free
But it only takes one man with access to gun
And a hatred for all humanity
How does a hollow heart get wounded
How can we recognize the signs
When the worlds all connected now
So many wires tying up the lines
Can’t we bring ourselves to go and stop a crime
Why do so many have to die before we do
What we should have done before
Why do so many have to cry before we see the writing on the wall
Our nation learns a lesson about dying
When it happens on its own, Cherry told me
Now on some fallen shore
We’re in someone else’s war
But crying for its own young's destiny
Why do so many have to die before we do
What we should have done before
Why do so many have to cry before we see the writing on the wall
They say the right to bear arms is important
To protect yourself from others bearing arms
But the ones who say this aren’t yet broken
By seeing their loved ones made into pawns
Don’t they know about that love
That the loss of them diminishes us all
Don’t they see or are their hearts empty
There's enough death around without their war
America, America please listen
Your children embrace you in the sun
The hopes of generations lie hanging by a thread
At the mercy of anyone with a gun
Don’t let them kill your children one by one
No mercy, no mercy for the gun
There’s a lone wailing in Virginia
Where a nation's hearts beat as one

Close your eyes
Forget the day
I can take you away from here
Let me show you the way
Take my hand
Turn on your mind
Soar without leaving the ground
Dream Flying Away
Sun Shine
Moon Rise
Star Light
Relax your mind
Turn off your fear
Soar without leaving the ground
Dream Flying Away
Sun Rise
Moon Light
Star Shine

Thank you for everything you have done and we hope that there is a place for our song somewhere in the memorial. We have included a copy of our song on CD and a printout of the lyrics for your review. (BEST ENJOYED LOUD)
We would like you to place this song somewhere on the VA TECH Memorial website. We played around with the tune for over a year but couldn't find the right words for the song. We knew we wanted it to be called ""Dream Flying"" and wanted the overall theme to be related to the title, but for some reason, the words were not forthcoming.
Since I had been a student at VA Tech and Lewis' brothers were graduates, we both had a very real connection to Blacksburg and had spent a lot of time there. When we heard about the shootings, it seemed to be a catalyst for the words of the song to come together. We think of it as a song of hope that was inspired by a tragic event at a place that we both love. We don't explicitly reference any particular event, but feel that our song captures a ""feeling"" that we both shared after this terrible tragedy.
The song is copyrighted, but we are giving the VA TECH ""We Remember"" website permission to play the song and post the lyrics as it sees fit.
Sincerely,
Robert W. Grimm &
Lewis R. Hauser

There’s too many angels in Heaven
The angels said what can we do
The Lord said send them back to their loved ones
Pick a number up to 32
So they send them back 32 angels
To those who are feeling so blue
Now there’s 32 angels among us
And are now living with you
Chorus
God don’t need any more angels
Up where the skies are so blue
He wants them to live among us
In this land he made for you
Chorus
It's hard to understand this message
With a heart so broken in two
Why’d he pick these 32 angels
The reason is God loves you
Chorus
So be happy, be strong, be faithful
And help someone as God helped you
Cause someday he may pick a number
And the number may be you

I Think I know the reason why
Angels frozen tears are falling on my window

For you these tears I cry
Cause the angry wind has come to claim it's souls
Ask myself what can make someone do something like this
I realized it didn’t matter why
Just mattered that they did
I pull over on the side of the road
For the pure shock of it all
And I prayed for the parents that would get that call

And take those precious seeds away
It’s not a fair exchange
Virginia
And as a voice unable to try, I say why
Like the rest of the world as I mourn
And this pain, from one person take
Please, it weren’t your place
Heart to heart, soul to soul
I've all come to know is that your a disgrace to the rest of the world
No explanation can be given to the hurt
That has been left behind, Virginia times
Ruined lives there now from the hate that you gave that can’t be replaced
But with love and the families, who were the victims
In tune with the situation, that truly holds heart
I can’t believe I’m writing this song
Why the violence, stop the hate
Reflect on peace, there's a need
Nurture the seeds in the beginning of this hate
So that it dissipates, and goes away
Cause I pray for what happened that day
Yeah, Virginia’s pain
To the stars that will now remain
Refrain from hate and give love away
Violence took a piece of many hearts that day
Leaves you to think of Virginia’s pain
Virginia’s pain, Virginia’s pain
Leaves you to think of Virginia’s pain
After 9-1-1 , two lessons we learned
For the will to turn, and face each other
And come together
Our freedom, our liberty
Why in Virginia, or any state
Where hate stays all around the world we see violence
On the news, chaos maintaining to brew
T’ hey, did you hear about that school
Some great college of knowledge thats now haunted for life
We’re the families of the victims that go through the pain
But why did you take away
Messenger’s heart goes out to all who were affected
Which means the whole world
One man, one decision
To take all that love away and give all that hate
I’ll meet you at the gates as I’m sure many people feel the same way
But wait, do you think that what you did now will cure with time
Don’t think twice, you’re fried
Everyone else went to the sky
Virginia stands tall with strength that holds its place from that day
Cause its the only way, the American way
American we say, that can’t be taken away
To face each other and come together
Our freedom, our liberty
Why Virginia or any state
Why Virginia
To the stars that will now remain
Refrain from hate and give love away
Violence took a piece of many hearts that day
Leaves you to think of Virginia’s pain
Virginia’s pain, Virginia’s pain
Leaves you to think of Virginia’s pain
Virginia’s pain, Virginia’s pain
Leaves you to think of Virginia’s pain
Leaves you to think of Virginia’s pain

Haven’t we got enough things that to try to hurt us
How can we feel safe

Teachers who always tried
To encourage our very best
Fathers who loved but one
A mothers growing son
And daughters with beauty unsaid

My name is Jimmy Pearson. I am a high school senior in Elyria, Ohio. On Monday I
heard about the tragic events that occurred at your college. I did not know what to say after
hearing this because I am currently the lead character in a play about school violence. I actually
play the character who has killed five of his classmates and his parents, so when I heard about this
on the news, I felt so many different things that I wasn't even sure that I wanted to do the play
any more. It gave me a new outlook on my character and honestly scared me a lot. The irony of
the whole situation was/is a little overwhelming to me. First I would just like to say that you have
my every condolence and I do hope that everything will be ok for everyone who was a victim and
for everyone else who were not direct victims but are still victims in the end of Monday's events.
It's strange because for some reason I keep feeling the need to say that I am sorry even though I
know that I never did anything and never would do anything of this nature. Maybe it's just the
character from my play talking. Maybe I feel that because I'm portraying a teen who has a lot of
problems and makes bad decisions, that I am somehow related to what happened even though I
know that I am not. I do not honestly know.
In addition to acting, I also write music. After Monday I felt that I needed to write a song
for all of you. I wrote it and recorded it in my room. The recording doesn't sound professional
because I don't have good software for recording things and the mic that I use is not very good. I
was not able to find a professional to record me. I did my best however to make the song sound good
and I really hope that you like it. The song is called Yesterday. The song is dedicated to
everyone at Virginia Tech and everyone somehow connected to Virginia Tech. I hope you like it.
Sincerely,
Jimmy Pearson",PDF,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/afcd2cfd7fbd796355fa05b166cd93d4.pdf,Document,"Virginia Tech April 16, 2007 Archives of the University Libraries (MS2008-020)",1,0

A touch of snow
An evil wind was blowing
That chilled right to the bone
A young man woke this morning
His heart had turned to stone
He selfishly cried today I will die
But I will not go alone
The serenity of Blacksburg was about to come undone
Those demons in this young man's head had him on the run
For this young disturbed man
Who’s heart had turned to stone
Took the innocence of Blacksburg on this cold, cold April morn'
Blacksburg we love you
You’re in our thoughts and prayers
And in your darkest hour the world prays and cares
Virginia Tech, your southern pride, it will not be denied
God has his arms around those angels
Proudly by his side
God has laid his hands upon you
And taught you to be strong
With a loving God by your side
Hokie pride will carry on
Virginia Tech we love you
And the world now knows your name
It offers prayers and comfort
To help you heal your pain
Well that Hokie nation grows ever stronger, with each passing day

When 32 students lost their lives on April 16, 2007 during a tragic shooting incident on
the campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg,
Virginia, institutions of higher learning shared in the grief with friends, families, faculty
and students. The shock and horror of this event included the University of Alabama at
Birmingham (UAB) Gospel Choir, who immediately sent signed cards and condolences
to Virginia Tech. It moved Kevin Turner, director of the UAB Gospel Choir, to compose
and dedicate a song to everyone that was affected by this awful occurrence, as well as
similar incidences that has happened on other college campuses that will be remembered
for many generations to come as well.
UAB Football Quarterback Sam Hunt sings lead vocal on the enclosed song entitled,
""Nothing Goes Unnoticed,"" He agreed to sing lead vocal to demonstrate the school spirit
that reaches from the campus of UAB to campus (and hearts) of Virginia Tech.
More than 125 voices took to the stage to record this song, and a capacity crowd of
1200+ people filled the Jemison Concert Hall at the Alys Stephens Performing Arts
Center on the campus of UAB. On the evening of this recording, UAB Blazers exchanged
their green and gold school colors for maroon and orange and the crowd waved maroon
and orange glow sticks, while 32 candles glowed on center stage in honor of the fallen
students.
This composition is sent to the families of the 32 victims, to the Virginia Tech Office of
Recovery and Support and to the president of the university with as much love and
concern as we can include in this song and in this letter.
Just as it states on the V-Tech web site, ""We Remember,"" we also send our sincerest
condolences on this one-year anniversary.
Virginia Tech - We remember with you.

Where a nation’s hearts beat as one
For the day in Blacksburg, Virginia
Where one man took so many with a gun
It’s a quiet, friendly place, Blacksburg, Virginia
Where the mountains and the rivers all run free
But it only takes one man with access to gun
And a hatred for all humanity
How does a hollow heart get wounded
How can we recognize the signs
When the worlds all connected now
So many wires tying up the lines
Can’t we bring ourselves to go and stop a crime
Why do so many have to die before we do
What we should have done before
Why do so many have to cry before we see the writing on the wall
Our nation learns a lesson about dying
When it happens on its own, Cherry told me
Now on some fallen shore
We’re in someone else’s war
But crying for its own young's destiny
Why do so many have to die before we do
What we should have done before
Why do so many have to cry before we see the writing on the wall
They say the right to bear arms is important
To protect yourself from others bearing arms
But the ones who say this aren’t yet broken
By seeing their loved ones made into pawns
Don’t they know about that love
That the loss of them diminishes us all
Don’t they see or are their hearts empty
There's enough death around without their war
America, America please listen
Your children embrace you in the sun
The hopes of generations lie hanging by a thread
At the mercy of anyone with a gun
Don’t let them kill your children one by one
No mercy, no mercy for the gun
There’s a lone wailing in Virginia
Where a nation's hearts beat as one
For the day in Blacksburg, Virginia
Where one man took so many with a gun
Don’t let them kill your children one by one
No mercy, no mercy for the gun",,audio/wav,,00:05:21,,,,"1411.2 kbps",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,AV,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/2dc137df970b2c93a151dc1ba2ab4796.wav,Sound,"Virginia Tech April 16, 2007 Archives of the University Libraries (MS2008-020)",1,0

Dear Friend
My name is Tico St. John. I wish to you
my deepest condolences. This truly was a tragedy.
I'm sending to you a song that I've written
""Angels in Paradise."" which was inspired by watching
the New. I truly wish that their was more I could do.
I also enclosed my photo so that there's a
face with the song. It is a tune that I wrote quickly
only vocals and acoustic guitar. I hope that my
lyrics will console you.
May God
bless all of you

Attn: Rene
Office of Recovery and Support
Virginia Tech
Dear Rene and all at Office of Recovery and Support,
I spoke to Rene the other day to say that I am a writer/songwriter who was moved very much by the tragedy in Virginia Tech, having close family in Virginia, and wrote a song entitled simply 'Blacksburg Virginia.'
The song is going to radio stations in Virginia and to the university in time for the memorial services.
I would appreciate it if you could get it around to wherever it would most likely be played, as I believe the message is important, about gun control, and how vital our children are to us: too vital to leave guns around to kill them, or wars to take them. I hope it will be balm to the soul as the message implores people to think, and change things, and therefore to hope.
With my Warmest Regards and True Sympathy to you all for your community's loss.
Yours faithfully,
Nicolle Freni
(PS The origin of the song and other info is on my website: www.nicollefreni.com)

And once again it's filled with tragedy
On a college campus in Virginia
Evil went on another spree
Now we're all trying to make sense of the senseless
With hindsight and many second guesses
What could have been done to stop the evil one
Or maybe it's time we teach the words of Jesus
He said love the Lord your God with all your heart
And love your sister and brother
Love the one true God with all your soul, mind, and strength
And love one another
Some believe we need more control
And some the right programs
But the fact of the matter
It all begins within the heart of a man
We can choose to treat the symptoms
Or go for the disease
Just try to slow the war
Or set our sights on peace
We'll see change across this land when we follow the commands
That Jesus gave to you and me
He said love the Lord your God with all your heart
And love your sister and brother
Love the one true God with all your soul, mind, and strength
And love one another
Do not be overcome by evil
But overcome evil with good
This is possible when we learn to love as we should
Love as we should
Love the Lord your God with all your heart
And love your sister and brother
Love the one true God with all your soul, mind, and strength
And love one another
Love one another
Love one another
Love God and love one another",,audio/wav,,00:04:40,,,,"1411.2 kbps",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,AV,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/ca9409e18c36d5c1e563c076668105ed.wav,Sound,"Virginia Tech April 16, 2007 Archives of the University Libraries (MS2008-020)",1,0
