September 11 - On This Day

On this day, we were attacked; 
On this day, we were mobbed; 
On this day, our freedom was tested; 
On this day, we all sobbed.

On this day, we all stood still; 
On this day, we all held each other; 
On this day, our lives were changed; 
On this day, we tried to save our brother.

On this day, we all said a prayer; 
On this day, we all hoped for the best; 
On this day, our faith was strengthened; 
On this day, we laid the brave to rest.

On this day, we will pause for our nation; 
On this day, we will never break; 
On this day, our country is united; 
On this day, we stand for freedom's sake.
