I Remember It All Too Well

On a clear and bright September morning Suddenly it happened without any warning A jet crashed into Tower One And the beginning of the terrible nightmare had begun Then as we watched it happened again We looked on in shock and wondered when would it end Thick black smoke filled the air And among the cries and screams all we could do was to look on in fear With tears in our eyes we prayed That all those inside would be saved The a rumble came from Tower One It shook the earth and then it was gone A cloud of smoke and dust filled all downtown Cutting down everything in it's path clear across town A short time later Tower Two fell It seemed someone had opened the gates of Hell The search went on night and day And when a body was found the workers stopped and prayed And now a year has passed by And we still remember and still cry For all the innocent lives lost that day For so many words we'll never get to say I remember it all so well And the pain and sorrow these mere words can never tell
