When Time Stood Still

When Time Stood Still Written By: Philip Blake Fleming The memories are as clear as a crystal of that sad day When time stood still, an unjust price we had to pay Thousands in peril, in fear of their final breaths taken Being stolen from their families, the ones left forsaken I remember tears falling, what has this world come to? Innocence no longer safe, there is nothing they can do Two towers of strength crippled by two deadly blows Striking each of our hearts, warning us not to oppose Millions cried their tears, and felt their hatred awoke Forever tainting our dear lives with a darkened cloak A nation came together in grief, uniting in great need Praying for the families in loss, turning to our creed No matter how many tears I shed, it will not change Retaliation for a bloodbath, it all appears so strange I wait for a day where we come together, not in grief But in peace, enjoying the stars with a sigh of relief Each day I live, I am grateful for the air I breathe in I gaze to the heavens, asking God to forgive this sin They know not what they do, they are just lost sheep Guide us, dear Lord, in our time of an endless weep
