In Memory of 9/11

 

For those who became heroes when they lost their lives

On 9/11/01 a day plane's hit the twin towers

Who took the innocents, the brave people of America

The fireman who fought the black smoke

Who went in the buildings at the risk of their own lives

The paramedic's who prayed and tried to save the people

Also the police who wanted to keep the panic down

When all were falling in the crumple

Coming out of the towers, it was so hard to breathe

 

On four planes where terror's face

Was in the sky, fighting the families

Of loved ones far and wide

I can see the tears

As one brave man

Helped people take the plane

Away from those

Who wanted to crash the White House

They died with "The Lord's Prayer"

On their lips

 

In memory for those heroes who sacrificed themselves

So that others may live,

All walks of life, all religions, all with one call

Freedom will never die, not for any country

We have seen the face of hatred

The devil thought he would laugh at us

The Lord, Thy God is stronger

Then any devil, more powerful

Than people who see no God

 

Salute The United States,

Pray for the memory of those

Who were lost in the blaze from the bombs

Remember the innocents

Never forget that terror passed this way.
