The blue sky turned orange-red
our hearts are broken, oh, so sad,
despite the grief, our strength remain
their memory lives beyond the pain.
We pray for peace to light the way
for night to turn a brighter day
for love to heal what hate has done
and bring a new dawn under the sun.

יהי זכרם ברוך 
עוֹשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם בִּמְרוֹמָיו, הוּא יַעֲשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם עָלֵינוּ וְעַל כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן 
May their memory be blessed May He who makes peace in His high places grant peace upon us and upon all Israel, and say: Amen.
