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!
