A Band of Brothers
A band of brothers rushed through the door
Suddenly a thunderous roar was heard and hey were no more
A giant cloud enveloping all in it’s way
Tuning everything to night where once before there was day
Powdery white dust everywhere
Stinging one’s eyes and polluting the air
He sounds of sirens heard everywhere
But safety and shelter wee found no where
Someone said many were trapped inside
It was there and then I began to cry
So many lost on that day
So many lives taken away
These souls taken from their loved ones
For no reason for it was nothing that they had done
We stand by and watched and prayed
Yet hope grows dim with each passing day
We offer our prayers and honor their memory
We give courage to their family
And as they look down on us this day
They know that those who have done this will pay
