It is what happened
And it is more what’s left behind

The joy I had at the town
The people I have met

Is Grief the word that I want to use?
The pain, deepend in my heart
Along with what happened in the past
The tears can no longer stay
I cry, let sadness aside
And I cry

Why did it happen that happened
What have we done wrong?
So many sad things in life
So much we have to deal

The people I have met
The memories we have created
Let the town rest
From its past

Let my heart rest
From the world’s sadness

Thousands and millions of us
Care to live the lives we chhose
Dare to take the challenges we face
And brave enough to gain strengths

It is what happened
And it is what’s left behind

We are a community of Hokies
We are, and forever will be
