[00:00:42] But then the young man drew a gun

[00:00:48] And killed nine people old and young

[00:01:16] And the cameras rolled and the nation heard

[00:01:22] 相机记录下这一刻 这件事传遍全国

[00:01:22] But no words could say what must be said

[00:01:27] 对所有在世和已故的人们

[00:01:27] For all the living and the dead

[00:01:31] 纵有千言万语 也只能保持沉默

[00:01:31] So on that day and in that place

[00:02:31] 纵有千言万语 也只能保持沉默

[00:02:31] So on that day and in that place

[00:02:37] 所以那一天 就在那里
