Today
Today, we’re all Dauntless.
 We're all being brave
 Clothed in black
 and mourning
 even if the death was
 unidentifiable to your
 heart and eyes
 It still hurts and 
 We all can feel the grief
 amidst the air
 it changes us
 it changes the 
 soft hearted
 cold blooded
 heart that 
 stones us
 it changes today
 so we put on our faces,
 and we stand and look up.
 Refusing to look down
 Can you cheat death?
 How many times does this have to happen here?
 How many times does one life
 have to be thrown into a different
 place away from the people who care?
 The only answer is to be awake 
 We now know how precious
 Life is
 We’re ready for now
 for whatever is to come
