What were you doing that fateful day
When part of our world was taken away
They came one morning like thieves in the night
Their hatred destroyed everything in sight
So many loved ones were lost that day
Both towers, the Pentagon and lives had to pay
Too high a price for piece of mind
Ground Zero is all they left behind
So many tears have already been shed
Hearts broken as we buried our dead
They came to destroy but they made us strong
They thought we would crumble but they were wrong
Flight Ninety-three gave the ultimate gift
Lives of the few for the many who lived
Just remembering gives me chills
That painful day the world stood still
