The Day America Cried: September 11

I have seen wars ugly face
from a point way too near.
I have felt it all around me
and I have felt the fear.

But nothing ever made me question
as a nation, we are safe inside.
That was before New York City
and the day America Cried.

Terrorist struck at our hearts at home
by an attack upon our land.
The `Towers' was one of the targets
and, now, they no longer stand.

The Pentagon was next to be hit
and even more people died.
I have never felt so helpless
on that day America Cried.

Then more words came of United 93
That crashed into a Pennsylvania field
It was the fourth aircraft high-jacked
And all aboard were killed

We know now the passengers aboard
Fought back and how they tried
They rode that plane into the ground
On the day America Cried

Unlike the `Towers' the USA didn't fall
and it will rise above this deed.
With the burning of the Pentagon,
The terrorist only planted a seed.

It is the `Seed of Retribution'
and it will serve as our avenging guide.
The `Bastards' will pay dearly
for the day America Cried.
