We watched in horror As planes crashed Into the World Trade Center And eventually collapse We watched with eyes dripping tears As the TV screen Flashes faces of innocent children Gunned down at an Elementary school What has this world come to be Lives taken for no apparent reason Lives taken of the most pure And all we can do is grieve We wage wars We seek justice But in the end we grieve As we lose more lives either way We watch from afar As our troops Come home on their shields Drapped in our colors Another day of grief Another day of tears and mourns Haven't enough lives been stripped? Hasn't enough blood been shed?

Another Day Of Grief
We watched in horror As planes crashed Into the World Trade Center And eventually collapse We watched with eyes dripping tears As the TV screen Flashes faces of innocent children Gunned down at an Elementary school What has this world come to be Lives taken for no apparent reason Lives taken of the most pure And all we can do is grieve We wage wars We seek justice But in the end we grieve As we lose more lives either way We watch from afar As our troops Come home on their shields Drapped in our colors Another day of grief Another day of tears and mourns Haven't enough lives been stripped? Hasn't enough blood been shed?
Within these words their memory will never fade
