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