Where once was business and bustling noise
Only crumbled steel remains
Too fast to stop destruction
And our lives forever changed
Frightened families sit in horror
Pray that loved ones keep their lives
Cross fingers that they left unscathed
By apocalyptic dives.
In an instant, mass hysteria
At the awful tidings found
Tears and blood, both shed, take our country's soul
And ram it to the ground.
Fear not, O Children of America;
Let voices rise in song.
We shall rebuild our homeland
And begin once more, twice as strong.
Dedicated to the memory of those lost on September 11, 2001, and also to their families.
