Written and produced and performed by me. American student Otto Warmbier died today after suffering at the hands of his North Korean captors for 17 months. I was outraged and as a songwriter I felt I would write and produce this song for his family and Americans in general.
Was it worth the time? Does it touch anyone? Will it see the light of day? But all that really doesn't matter... it is my gift to the Warmbier family.

(Verse 1)
A A+B+D
Otto Warmbier died today...

His mama cried, his daddy prayed...

For all the world and all to see...
D E D
This young man is now free...
(Verse 2)
Otto Warmbier died today...
May we all join hands and pray...
Why this young man had to die?
No one knows the reason why...
(Chorus)

Otto Warmbier died today...

What were the reasons for his fate?

They got him home, but was too late...
(Verse 3 – short)

Otto Warmbier died today...

One of us has gone away...

Thanks for sharing this song. Such a sad story, Robert. Being what it is, who knows if something like this would ever see the light of day. But was it worth it? Yes. If it helped you process this, if it helps someone else process this event, then it’s worth it.
