Where were you when the world stood still?
When they hit the World Trade Center and the towers fell?
Where were you when the city skyline changed?
When terrorists took over and they became deranged?
Where were you on that dark September day?
Where were you when evil took so many lives away?
Four planes fell out of the sky to the world below,
The twin towers, the Pentagon, and a Pennsylvania field took the blows.
I will never forget that fateful morn,
As the country watched, all we could do was mourn,
They thought they could break us, but they were wrong,
As long as we stand together, we will always stay strong.
It was so long ago, but it feels like only yesterday,
But if we keep the memory, the love will not fade away,
Don’t let all those people perish in vain,
Where there is unity, their spirits will live again.
