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.
