The Day America Woke Up

Lives were lost, Tears were shed. Wives and husbands Now lay alone in their beds. Parents lost children, And children lost parents. It was a day that we all will remember. They tried to fight They tried to save, Tried to outrun the burning buildings That were fallen that day. THe airplanes flew, But no one knew Except the ones in the plane. Smashing into the buildings... Where the people watched. And America finally woke up. All the fighting, All the suffering... Searching for those in the dust. From watching the buildings fall To people running for their lives. Never will we forget the day We were under attack- Never will we forget those who lost their lives. To the ones who didn't have a care in the world. September 11th 2001, In our hearts it has become.
