Over time, our tears will slow, Although it doesn't seem so now September morns will come and go Distilling the sorrow somehow
And each year we will remember The day our skies rained with terror Brought to mind every September Affecting us then, now and forever
Again we will open up our hearts Allowing the pain to flow in and out From deep down where the healing starts Still searching for answers, without doubt
We'll never understand the reasons why Death, to some, doesn't mean a thing We just do our best to hold our heads high While to a bigger picture, we try to cling
We stand reverently, offering flowers As if they can fully convey our sense of loss For those caught in those falling towers Whether spouse, friend or company boss
All around us, we watch others mourn Tissue in hand, wiping away the tears Looking for something good to be born From all of this, to help us through the years
We'll remember the heroes among the dead In New York, the Pentagon and in those planes And those who dug through debris until they bled Deep into the winter, spring and summer rains
When duty called, without question or pause The rescue crew ran in, as others ran out Obeying one of God's most sacred laws... To the very hilt, the Golden Rule played out
There were so many who gave until it hurt Only resting so they could give some more To help rescue a brother, a nation, from the dirt To surmount the evil pouncing upon our shore
Then there were those who stood in line To give food, aid and blood to those in need Doing whatever they could...surely a sign Something good would arise from the deed
When September the Eleventh rolls around This time again next year, and the one after that We'll look once more to that consecrated ground United to rise above each heinous inhumane act
Love for our brothers will make us stronger This horrible tragedy helping us to see We cannot close our eyes to evil any longer Stand quietly by and watch the killing spree
We've accepted a great challenge on this earth Waging a relentless battle against the foe Intercepting their plans for all we're worth So we all may feel safe wherever we go
We must not let our blessed heroes die in vain Who took up their cross to save their fellow man From barbarians who know only death and pain Whose beliefs are twisted by Satan's hand
The One we trust can be found on the bill Declaring to the world our guide of choice His commandment to love can be heard still When we hear "Let's Roll!" we hear His voice
For surely no greater love has any man Than to lay down his life for a friend Love for the weaker ones made them stand To fight those terrorists 'til the bitter end
For that is our nature, our nation as a whole It's what our country is and ever will be made of Ever-aspiring, reaching, for that glorious goal Captured afterward in a snap-shot year of love
For "Love" in this picture is clearly visible One nation...under God...Indivisible With Liberty and Justice for all! United, we stand...Divided we fall!
E Pluribus Unum...Out of Many, One One nation joined in Quest of Right A Portal for those who seek the Sun A Torch to all in the darkest night
With steadfast courage, we won't falter, We'll prevail. We'll see the victory won We'll not bow down to the devil's altar... A cloud of dust trying to hide the Son!
We won't dwell on the negative when terrors rain We'll embrace the positive, for there's the gain So when September Morning comes, look above... For there is the source of the force called "Love"!
