Remember

Steel birds tore through the sky,

Carrying loved ones of you and I.

Twin towers standing tall,

Too strong, we thought, to ever fall.

Those birds of prey broke our hearts

As we watched our world fall apart.

Steel wings cut through flesh and bone

But could not destroy our soul.

More targets, more lives,

The toll still untold.

Overwhelming fear and heartache

Filled every home.

Remember those who were lost.

Fight for those memories at any cost.

Remember freedom as it rings loud.

Remember freedom and stand proud.

Sadness and confusion give way,

Keep faith in a new day.

We will find the nest from which those birds came,

Tear them down without shame.

Our hearts are filled to burst

With love for all those hurt.

Together as a nation, a world, we stand tall.

We will move past the horror we saw.

Remember those who were lost.

Fight for those memories at any cost.

Remember freedom as it rings loud.

Remember freedom and stand proud.
