Confused Surreal 9-11 (Continuation)
Confused Surreal 9-11 (continued)
By Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen
News flashes’ disillusionments then changed from bad to worse.
But chaos had not seen it’s end, attack was just the first.
The pentagon was next in line. God! Clear it out in time?
The word came through that tower two had crumbled to the ground.
But chaos had not seen it’s end, attack was just the first.
The World Trade Center’s death toll soared our citizens were lost.
The pentagon was next in line. God! Clear it out in time?
Then, word came through that tower two had crumbled to the ground.
The World Trade Center’s death toll soared our citizens were lost.
Debris filled streets for miles around as people fled for life.
Then, word came through that tower two had crumbled to the ground.
How could this happen on our soil? We are the brave and free.
Debris filled streets for miles around as people fled for life.
Reality not sunken in, we all saw freedom’s cost.
How could this happen on our soil? We are the brave and free.
Real heroes sacrificed their lives and crashed Flight 93.
Reality, not sunken in, we all saw freedom’s cost.
Round and round our heads did spin; we watched in disbelief.
Real heroes sacrificed their lives and crashed Flight 93.
The country came together then, war was no mystery.
Round and round our heads did spin; we watched in disbelief.
The facts had all displayed themselves United States are we
The country came together then, war was no mystery.
And friends from all around the world joined us as brave and free.
