Walking back through time Life into eternity came to a dreadful end It was destruction 20 years earlier then Our lives were changed 9/11 being remembered shall remain Terrorist thought they had won But the United States will never be outdone Ashes upon Ashes Dust upon Dust We rose in accomplishment being victory Commitment in honor to all the Loss We came together united being a force We honor all the Loss Their lives forever in our hearts Life can be only a second and moment in time
Heaven watched Souls descended The Loss voices telling us to continue to strive Don’t let defeat take control Stand tall, strong and be bold This is the 9/11 story ever told Tomorrow seemed like a yesterday But 20 years was captured as a moment in our lives Possibility surfaced as a reality Our hearts were united as one We wondered if we ever build and overcome again Tears upon tears among families in their Loss But the U.S. conquered and saw that the ashes of darkness wasn’t going to stop the U.S. in seeing the guiding light Heaven led us Faith was the hope Today, it is our daily cope We are never alone The Lord knows all our names well We are all witnesses of 9/11 to tell The Loss Spirits are looking down on us in pride that we are still standing It took might and determination Their spirits are our courage Their strength being nourish Their life our beginning We will always remember and never forget There will always be a question of regret Have no fear God is always near Echoed souls want us to continue to preserver Their spirits are alive in all of us We are their legacy We are their dreams of commitment Our determination being a destination It is for us to continue to live until our tasks are complete Continue to stand on U.S. Solid Ground Imagine the echoed voices having a sound Live, stand and always reflect Live with a purpose, and make it personal for a reason Relish tomorrow being a day Stand and be strong each and every way “I don’t want to fall. All I want to do is stand on Solid Ground” by David Levithan God Bless the Families and America
