              <text>They came from everywhere, from places far and wide,&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
Most to learn and some to teach, all to share the love inside.&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
They went to a mountain school, amid the pines and whippoorwills.&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
They wore orange and maroon, in this city on a hill.&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
Youth dreaming of future days, while their teachers guided them.&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
One teacher saw the Holocaust, just to see it come again,&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
Erupting on an April morn, amidst a swirling wind,&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
A tortured mind bearing arms, an attempt to lock them in.&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
But the children of April can never be locked in.&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
They cheer at every game; they ride the swirling wind.&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
The children of April remain in God's embrace.&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
They are in the better hugs; they march in every May.&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
The children of April still cheer at every game.&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
Send messages of love, as we speak out their names.&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
The children of April remain in God's embrace.&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
They are in the better hugs.&lt;/br&gt;&#13;
They march in every May.</text>
