from the sky falling
great tragedy came calling
shattered dreams and wicked schemes
crushed the hearts of the innocent
evil intent was unleashed
terror screamed from the morning sky
the horror of a madman
was delivered from afar
thunderous crashing walls
the clear and clarion calls
heroic humanity arrived
in a New York minute
a fearless fortress's fire
our leader's deep desire
a capitol in great dismay
a tragic mounful day
woeful wailing reigned
fearful fretting finally waned
from the desires of the insane
and the towers had tumbled to the ground
from fear to anger
to resolved careful courage
the wounds of America
have been revealed and healed
Still above the plumes of sadness
beyond the reach of madmen
waves in triumphant glory
the fabric of freedom
and each solitary soul
prayed softly in the night
for the brave bastions of battle
to extinguish the darkness
with the righteousness of light......................... |
