America On 9-11

May 30, 2002



September 11th was a day of pain

The sky was clear and not a drop of rain

The sky turned black

As our nation was under attack



People all over the world cried

Everyone knew this was no joyride

11 years to build the towers so tall

9/11, 8:46am, all destroyed, nothing left, not at all



The WTC towers are now gone

The statue of Liberty now stands alone at dawn

Even though many lost lives

Now many others have opened their eyes



Our Nation, America, Land of the Free

This is our Nation's plea

Our Nation, America, Home of the Brave

Where I plan to live, and not as a slave
