On a clear September morning,
America's face forever changed
And priorities painfully rearranged.
How can hate be so strong
Against so many who've done no wrong?
Towering infernos, it seemed surreal,
Then crashing down, concrete, glass and steel.
Thousands died and millions cry.
Heroes live and heroes die,
As smoke and ash would fill the sky.
Even now our hearts still grieve,
For captive sights which never leave.
The world it seems has always been
A place where evil seems to win.
But those who wait throughout the night
Must know that dawn will bring the light,
And we who trust in God above,
Must never cease to show His love.
