She began the day tough and proud
Her heart beating with the footsteps of a million friends
Going to work or just doing their daily errands
Then from the clouds came the evil spirit
Swooping down with the intention to take her life,
Open wings of hatred he struck at her heart
She buckled with pain and suffering
She tries with her pride dented to stand her ground tall and fair
Her spirit within hurting and crying she shouts out for help
Then with tears from her soul within she collapses and dies


She falls from grace with angel tears we weep
Innocents lost why did they have to die
All for being at the right place at the wrong time, Sacrificed to a evil man
With there new angel wings adorned ascend concrete stairs to heaven
A line of angel’s accept the innocent on this September day
Back on ground zero strangers become friends with people helping people
With tears in their eyes they shout out for loved ones we know are lost
The fire fighters and police officers crying out with broken voices we shall not be defeated and with a passion undaunted came the cry usa-usa


The cherished ones we lost this day were not in vain
Now we must join together, to nurture, to be stronger than ever
This nation will grow from the ashes once again tall and true
Stronger than ever hand in hand one voice…united
A stronger homeland was reborn today from this heartbreak
The time for healing is now
God bless America for you will rise again
