There are no words
That can be said
To ease this imminent
Feeling of dread

That still looms over
Our hearts and souls
Of hateful men
With hateful goals

Each year we remember
Those who gave all
Brave men and women
Lost in the fall

Of buildings so high
Standing proud on our soil
Aflame with the fire
Of jet fuel and oil

A country united
Together we stood
Through dark clouds of smoke
We did what we could

As we look back on this day
Filled with sorrow, regret
We are Strong, We are Americans
We will Never Forget
