One day in September would change everything
Inspired some to fight and some to sing
There was time to grieve and time to hurt
To the world this was just the start

For ten years ago we thought we'd lost it all
For hours ago two buildings had stool so tall
Killed me to sit and watch them fall
I swear to God we'll come back stronger
Can't take sitting around no longer

I can still hear the screams 'till this very day
Being awake no longer keeps the nightmares at bay
That one day we stood as one
And prayed together under the fall sun

For every time I look up towards the sky
And remember the angst and pain
I fight back tears, trying not to cry
My efforts are worthless, and tears our like rain

For ten years ago we thought we'd lost it all
For hours ago two buildings had stood so tall
Killed me to sit and watch them fall
I swear to God we will come back stronger
Can't take sitting around no longer

Oh ten years ago we all sat and watched
Oh ten years ago we all sat and watched
As symbols of power and hope tumbled to the ground
You could feel the heart of America all around
