When two hijacked planes came flying out of the sun
This is one of those days when everyone can remember
Exactly were they were and, what they were doing that day in September
As we watched the news we thought this must be a dream and we soon would wake
But before long we knew it was no dream as the news continued to break
As the day went on we knew this was an attack on all we hold dear
Our friends our families, our country our national pride. We had so much to fear
Another crashes at the Pentagon, with more loss of life, another in
Pennsylvania where heroes died
At this time we were trying to comfort each other as all of us cried
We didn't know the whole story then or how much more there would be
We were to learn later one of the planes was headed for Washington.DC
The plane did not make it to Washington as the terrorist had planned
The people on board did not let it happen as they formed a fighting band
And said "lets roll" as terrorist tried to take over of the plane
They were all heroes and given the chance they would do it all again
Do you remember what happened the next few days? There were no planes in the sky
All seemed so eerie, so quiet so’ unreal we were all reaching out and asking why
There were no answers this side of heaven we all felt so helpless and needed each other
Mothers and fathers little boys and girls, friends and neighbors sister and brother’
We were looking for answers we prayed to our God as never before
We called our ministers and said can we meet for prayer? And they opened the church doors
We fell on our knees and communed with our Lord
We asked for strength and were bound together by one common cord
Oh! Yes we filled our churches for a couple of weeks that’s true
Where are the people now? The need is still great for me and for you
The world is no better now just listen to the evening News on any given day
Little Children being killed, Rape, murder And people in high office gone astray
Do you remember what it was like on our roads back then our cars draped with red white and blue
We were together in our fight against the terrorist we even smiled and said How are you
There was courtesy even on our highways; there is no doubt about it we were all one
But look at it today they will take over the road even if it means the use of a gun
My Fellow Americans as we approach the anniversary of that Horrific day
Lets all band together as we did back then seek each other in His love, Join hands and pray
The enemy was hoping to drive us to our knees and he did, but not as he had planned
He only made us stronger as we trust in the Lord and give thanks for this wonderful land
