The reflection of a Godly light
Hovers over the barren ground
Where buildings use to reach the sky
They no longer can be found.

Two evil flights destroyed them
In a burst of horror and flame
People vanished in the rubble
Our hearts still feel the pain.

Now the grounds are sacred
Loved ones buried and never found
Memorialized forever
I can hear their mournful sound.

We will never understand
Why things happen as they do
Just pray that 9-11
Will never again come true.

I pray for those departed ones
Their families left behind
And ask that God be with them
Be generous and be kind.

We remember other fallen ones
That day three years ago
They will never be forgotten
Their courage we'll never know.

I pray that we will never
Have to live that fear again
The ones lost on the fateful day
In our hearts will forever remain.

Let us stand to protect our land
Keep our ethics and faith secure
Pray that God will watch over us
And forever help us endure.
