A roomful of babies
A roomful of hope
A roomful of lives
Now gone up, in smoke
 
Those babies were happy
Those babies were proud
Those babies are gone now
Their lives in a shroud
 
Of all these babies
a few yet remain
Those few have been tortured
Most still in pain
 
Who would have known
Who could have guessed
That one friendly gesture
Could be so addressed?
 
The help of a friend
To a family in need
Received so very cruelly
From a life gone to seed
 
Only one man did this
With needle in hand
Injecting these babies,
with bleach - so offhand
 
Only one man did this
Taking his time
Killing these babies,
Enjoying this crime
 
Only one man did this
in his hands was the tool
Instead of being kind
He was immeasurably cruel
 
Eighty-two babies
Died that day
Eleven more died
A much slower way
 
Some of the babies
Are living right now
They're living in terror
They're totally cowed
 
The man that did do this
Must pay for the life
Must pay more than a smack
On the wrist for his strife
 
These Ninety-three babies
Need your help today
Although 'only animals',
This man - HE MUST PAY!

May their lives be remembered, and their murderer punished to the fullest
extent of the law
