TONIGHT WE MOURN THE VICTIMS...
OF A PARTNER WHO WAS VIOLENT
OF A PARTNER WHO TAUGHT VIOLENCE
OF A NATION THAT BREEDS VIOLENCE
TONIGHT WE MOURN...
THE BODIES THAT WERE BATTERED
THE SPIRITS THAT WERE SHATTERED
AND THE WOUNDS THAT NEVER HEAL
TONIGHT WE MOURN...
THE WOMAN WHO LIVE IN SHAME
THE FAMILIES WHO LIVE IN FEAR
AND THE NATION STRUGGLING TO ADMIT OUR REALITY
TONIGHT WE MOURN THE VICTIMS...
EVERYONE OF THEM
EVERYONE OF US
AND VOW TO WORK FOR A CHANGE
