America Cries


America cries as the towers collapse
under one point five million pounds of steel.
A loss of life for thousands of victims
that we will forever feel.

The jewels of the New York skyline
sadly stand no more.
The terrorists attacked us viciously
down to our very core.

The number of victims beneath tons of debris
has reached into the thousands.
Tragedy has bared it's ugly face
at home on our own proud land.

The tell tale sign of an American
is a badly broken heart.
Our nation now has merged as one
and from this we will never part.

The hijackers engaged in these despicable deeds
with no regard for human life.
Unbelievably able to take over the planes
with a box cutter or a four inch knife.

The evil of these terrorist acts
is a war against humanity.
A war against our civilization
that we never dreamed we'd see.

Bless the hearts of our heroes
trying hard to save an innocent life.
Working so desperately without giving up hope
praying at least some would survive.

There was sadly no hope at the Pentagon
they're not sure yet how many died.
The workers there showed their heartfelt pain
as they unfurled our flag with pride.

And bless the victims that died in Pittsburgh
that had the courage to stop them and fight back.
It's only because of their bravery
that our White House is still intact.

The horror of these atrocious acts
is too shocking to comprehend.
Who would have ever dreamed
our United States would be a victim.

Americans now have something new far and wide.
Learning fear as we deal with our pride.

Let our freedom ring
a deafening blare of our command.
Never have I known before
how proud I am to be an American.

Buildings can be rebuilt
but the human toll will resonate forever.
We are strong, watch us heal
as a nation we will boldly endeavor.

My heart beats so proudly
with it's blood red, white, and blue.
Pay back for these actions
is more than definitely due.

Yea thou we walk through the shadow of death
we will fear no evil.
America is strong
we WILL prevail.

And crown thy good with brotherhood
from sea to shining sea.
One nation under God
we will forever be.

God bless America
our home sweet home.
And God bless our beautiful flag
the proud banner of our freedom.
Forever.
