Heroes from Chapel Hill – A Tribute to Deah, Yusor and Razan

A tribute to the lives of Deah, Yusor and Razan who were killed Feb 10, 2015 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

My heart grieves from the news this tragedy 
The highest levels of heaven, we pray you three will see 
With lives of service, purpose, and giving to those in need 
Remember, we always will, our heroes from Chapel Hill
Remember, we always will, our heroes from Chapel Hill
 
Lord forgive them, they know not what they’ve done
They’ve taken away the brightest, the brightest of our shining suns
In a sea hatred, arrogance and individuality 
They were beacon of light for all humanity

How many smiles did they give to so many people’s lives
How many lives she touched through her art, a creative eye
How far did they travel now, in the service of their Lord
And when we follow in their footsteps, imagine their reward

Remember, we always will, our heroes from Chapel Hill
Remember, we always will, our heroes from Chapel Hill

Deah, Yusor, Razan, your light will forever shine
You loved to help the needy, now we wont let you down
Knowledge and learning was something we know you valued high
And peace all around the world, and to this we all must strive

Our hearts are with your families, you all are in our prayers
Lets rise for what they stood for, despite all our fears
This hatred and fear that surrounds us, only will subside 
Through the love they shared to the worlds, every day of their lives

Remember, we always will, our heroes from Chapel Hill
Remember, we always will, our heroes from Chapel Hill
