O' September 11th...
Seems like yesterday
But with all intent
Seems like such a long time away
Remember! Everyone explained
From now on everything will be changed
It’s true—many things have changed
But has everything really changed?
Air travel has changed
Hearts, minds of Americans have been changed
Of that there is no doubt
Or is 9-11 just one more scarecrow
Of war and its sordid legacy, what's all about
To stomp out our freedoms foes
Ah' my generation grew up in the shadow
Of a menacing mushroom shaped cloud ha·lo
An ominous reminder of the destructive power fiasco
Unleashed at the end of World War 2
Another generation is growing up today
With another image
The image of crumbling Twin Towers disarray
The symbol of Sept. 11, 2001 visage!
