"AMERICA PRAYS"
"AMERICA PRAYS"
As the sun rises above the trees,
between the buildings,
across the mountain tops,
We will forever look at its beauty in a
whole new way,
Nineteen terrorists changed our
lives,
how we see, how we feel, how we love,
How often we express it, and how often
we pray.
When we see an airplane, floating
through the air,
And hear loud noises, and see things
that we don't normally see,
We immediately think the worst, and a
sense of panic reaches our minds.
Nineteen terrorists changed our lives
forever,
how we think, how we touch, how we
breath,
How we handle each days, constant bump
and grind.
When our children leave home, just to
go to the store,
We make sure they know and understand
we love them and appreciate them,
Nineteen terrorists changed our
lives,
every aspect of the way we live, the
way we feel,
And we must never let the light in our
hearts grow dim.
Before the devastation, before the
murder of innocent life,
When we heard Nine One One, we thought
of accidents and heart attacks,
Today we think of terrorists, Trade
Centers, Pentagons, Pennsylvania, and
Heroes,
Nineteen terrorists changed our
lives,
and we will never regain the world we
knew,
But now we have found compassion, and
extra room where love grows.
Nineteen terrorists, took a Nation,
brought havoc and destruction upon it,
We were complacent, we were comfortable
with the ideas of being safe and free,
We are the USA, the mighty of the
mightiest,
Terrorism was something we just
didn't see.
So today one year later, we bow our
heads and on bended knees,
We pray to God above for the strength
and insight to get through another day.
And as for those nineteen terrorists
that changed our lives so dramatically:
They intended to cause fear, but what
they truly did was to;
"Cause America, and the world to
kneel and pray."
