i was too young then
but i remember when
i heard people cry
i didn't understand
why they held hands
but people died

i saw mom and daddy sitting there crying
i didn't know what was happening
so i asked him, "dad what's going on?"
and he said, look sweetheart, its gone!


that was the day the tower fell down
people's dead bodies laid on the ground
that was the day all their dreams died
people all over the world cried

im 22 now
i remember somehow
what i saw years ago
so i turn my laptop on
start to make a song
oh god it still hurts me so

i saw on youtube, calls that are real
they're asking for help, telling what they feel
there's smoke around, they cant hardly see
its getting really hot, they cant hardly breathe

and all the operators could say
is "honey help is on the way"
they heard them crying, they heard them dying
but they just couldn't do anything

that was the day the tower fell down
the world stopped spinning around
that was the day all their dreams died
yeah its been years but today I cried

another 10 years will pass
but ill remember the past
and ill watch those angels fly
there's a voice in my head
its a young man who said
" were 5 in here, were too young, were not ready to die!!!"


but today is the day we'll build that tower again
everything will be okay, you'll see my friend
today is the day we'll build those dreams again
and we'll never let those evil win........

Karren,

What a moving tribute. Yes, indeed, you "were too young", but you saw your
parents pain, and apparently you were
and are a very wise "old" soul who
realizes, already, that it's not always
fair out there.
