A thunderous blast.  The helpless eyes of a nation look on
In horror
Twin brother's crash.  Countless victims  - all with a story
That ended too soon
The world has been shaken.  Camelot is gone.  Innocence
Lost

God Bless America

Vacant eyes.  Silent streets.  A day of mourning and
Remembrance
Tearful embraces.  Candlelight vigils.  Flags wave from
Coast to Coast
Black and white become one.  Bitter parties unite and
Sing

God Bless America

911.  The call went out and the nation responded by the tens of
Thousands
Hands grasped all across the land.  They can crash our buildings
And steal
The ones we love.  But they cannot take our memories or break
Our spirit

God Bless America

A thunderous blast.  911. The day has been embedded into our
Souls
Let it not embitter us but teach us.   Hatred destroys.   Love
Heals
And faith rebuilds.  Let us extend our hands in unison and
Pray

God Bless America
