Walking the halls feeling so insecure
In an institution where you should feel out of harm's way
Never understood, never to be accepted
But you could not have known the reaction you would get that day
Valentine's day, you were happy to see
That boy you liked, being the only one early to class
And with a walk by you gave him a note
Finally brave enough to act; for so long you'd been harassed
But the three words I Love You
Was not what he wanted to hear; so he retaliated in violence
Now everywhere around the world
Students remember you and other gays, with a day of silence
Lawrence, you did what some could never
And acted because you had feelings; even if some found them wrong
But in heaven with God, you are accepted
Such a sad end to a shortened life; but until the end you were strong
