If I Could Turn Back Time
The years have passed yet the emptiness lingers on
All taken from us on that day forever now gone
We still remember and we will always care
Names so familiar to us yet spoken like a prayer
All we have are images and memories of our loved ones
Mother's, father's, sisters, brothers, daughters, and sons
Six years have passed and we go on
Six years have passed yet the war goes on
When will we find closure to what happened that day
When will we say their lives were not taken in vain
We can't and will not forget that September day
That bright sunny morning when in a flash life was changed for always
So many hopes and dreams lost forever
But in our hearts you will leave us never
You belong to the country and the world since that day
But how I wish I could turn back time and have you back with us here today.
