14-åringene Stine Sørby og Marielle Nyengen Fjellstad fra Elverum bestemte seg for å skrive en sang etter det som skjedde i Oslo og på Utøya. Sangen fikk navnet Stay strong.
– Vi ville vise at vi bryr oss, og vise vår støtte til de som var der og til de pårørende. Vi er veldig glad i å synge og spille, derfor var dette en naturlig måte for oss vise vår støtte, forteller jentene.
Foreløpig tall viser at 68 mennesker døde på Utøya, og åtte mennesker døde i Oslo da bomben gikk av.
– Det som skjedde er helt forferdelig, og det er trist å tenke på.
– Hva handler sangen om?
– Den handler om av vi viser hva vi tenker om det som skjedde. Og den handler om at vi må stå sammen og prøve å komme oss igjennom det.
Stay strong

Sometimes people find it hard to believe
that the people they love leave
can't describe it, no matter how much I say
can't understand how a man can have so much hate
but don't you worry cause you'll meet them one day
-
In our hearts you'll stay forever
We're gonna hold together
Rest in peace to all the people that are gone
Where showing our support with this song
He can't tear us down, we'll rise up from the ground
So come on, stay strong
cause to you our hearts belong
-
We're sorry to the people who lost someone
but you know we have to carry on
no matter how much it hurts for you or me
the bomb and the massacre wasn't free
it's the time to stand together as nation
-
In our hearts you'll stay forever
We're gonna hold together
Rest in peace to all the people that are gone

So come on, stay strong
cause to you our hearts belong
