Alright, alright now here’s the scoop,
I’m gonna bring you in the loop.

It’s actually a really sad story,
About two brothers living their day of glory.

In a place that accepted them,
All they wanted to do was cause mayhem.

Turning a happy day for plenty,
Into a sad day for many.

It shouldn’t be that way,
You keeping up with me okay?


Everyone took this to heart,
But it didn’t tear the U.S apart.

Instead for the better,
We all came together.

Sense of right from wrong,
Boston strong.

Yeah yeah,
Boston strong.

Did you hear me?
Boston strong.

Instead for the better,
We all came together.

Sense of right from wrong,
Boston strong.


I praise the people in this mess,
Even though they are in distress.

You hear about that child?
Man this shhhh has gone wild.

What has this world come to?
It needs a slick review.

I just wanna reassert,
About all those people hurt.

Please be with them oh Lord,
Give them something to look toward.

They deserve the best,
Just stick with my request.

And it will get better,
Lord, be the trendsetter.

The author's comments:
I visited a lot of the places that had to do with the Boston Bombings over my Spring Break. I even got to see the memorial when no one else could go in and see it. I got really connected to this story because we followed the reporters around and went to the specific places that had to do with the bombing/suspects.
