12 years ago terrorists commandeered 4 domestic flights

And suddenly our world changed overnight.

Today people wore red, white and blue as a way

Of commemorating what our country went through that day.

For on that day with our world careening

Those three colors took on a different meaning.

Red represented all the blood that was lost

And that freedom can come at an extremely high cost.

White was the color on our faces that day

As we knelt down together with our families to pray

And blue was the color in our hearts and souls

We were country of people who could not be consoled.

For on the day of that brutal attack

The terrorists stole our innocence...which we’ll never get back.

Yes 12 years ago our world changed overnight

But 12 years later we can see daylight.

For though our colors may have faded... that didn’t last long

Yes the red, white and blue have come back strong.

Our country endured difficult conditions and all those dead

We were courageous in the face of danger-the epitome of red.

We tried to retain our purity and do what’s right

And began a new innocence- the essence of white.

We are vigilant, we persevere and seek justice too

Are all represented by the color blue.

So we proudly wear the colors for these colors shout

America may have been down...but we were never out.
