I Remember It All Too Well
On a clear and bright September morning
Suddenly it happened without any warning
A jet crashed into Tower One
And the beginning of the terrible nightmare had begun
Then as we watched it happened again
We looked on in shock and wondered when would it end
Thick black smoke filled the air
And among the cries and screams all we could do was to look on in fear
With tears in our eyes we prayed
That all those inside would be saved
The a rumble came from Tower One
It shook the earth and then it was gone
A cloud of smoke and dust filled all downtown
Cutting down everything in it's path clear across town
A short time later Tower Two fell
It seemed someone had opened the gates of Hell
The search went on night and day
And when a body was found the workers stopped and prayed
And now a year has passed by
And we still remember and still cry
For all the innocent lives lost that day
For so many words we'll never get to say
I remember it all so well
And the pain and sorrow these mere words can never tell
