Terror In America

September 11, two thousand and one
A normal day at the start
By nightfall, one filled with terror
With an ache in every American Heart

We watched in stunned disbelief
As events unfolded that day
We saw such horrendous things
In our minds forever they will stay

Days filled with so much sadness
Searching for the ones to blame
For the sake of unnatural hatred
Our lives will never be the same

Through all of this nightmare
United we will always stand
Shoulder to shoulder we will stay
Around the world and across the land

We will not let them win
The COWARDS from that day
Proudly we will always remain
The United States of America, the great USA
