God you blessed us with many different men
12 men died that day in that mine
They walked in the door not knowing their fate
Everyday I use to wait
For this dreaded day to come
With one mighty strike of your fist
We found out they will be missed
You took sons, fathers, brothers and grandpas
Knowing this was your doing makes my life a bit more peaceful
With out a warning they were trapped
What happened down there may never be known
Except 12 angels sit next to your thrown
With their courage and strength
They knew they would die
With my courage and strength I sit all alone
Wondering if I should make it right
I put my hands together to pray
I hear my father say
Young son never have worry
Your sons, fathers, brothers and grandpas are with me
I took them to the next world so you could see
There lives will be shaped in stone
You will never be alone
They smile at you everyday
Know that strength and courage is how they came my way
They loved and honored each and everyone of you
I listened intently
I had to say father they said 12 were alive
How could they lie?
They did not lie
Hope brings the world together
When you thought I only had one angel you were so happy
What was that mans worth?
Was it dirt?
I tell you now 12 or 1 does not matter
Love should only get better
You all begged for a miracle
I gave you one and you should now know
You said that there must not be a god?
No god they would have all been gone
I sit here now with 12 angels
LIve your life for their memory
They will be with me for eternity
But know I have 12 sons, fathers, brothers and grandpas that are angels
Their strength will help you get through
They were the bravest men for the fate they knew.
