September eleventh is when it began.
America was struck by terrorists from Afghanistan.
A sight no one will ever forget.
One World Trade Center was struck with a Jet.
Eighteen minutes later Tower two was hit.
I thought to myself, “Could this be it?”
I heard on TV, America was under attack.
I felt a strange chill running up and down my back.
How could this be, did we do something wrong?
Two towers aflame that stood so strong.
Now if that wasn’t enough a new flash said,
“Plane crashes into the Pentagon, at least 64 dead.”
9:50 a.m. One World Trade center crumbles.
30 minutes later its twin brother rumbles.
People running across bridges and trying to flee.
I keep asking myself, “How could this be?”
President Bush tells us we’re under attack,
By faceless cowards and their pack.
We will stand together and stand tall
No one on earth can make America fall.
We found that the Taliban is to blame,
Osama Bin Laden says it’s a religious war.
Doesn’t religion teach us to love and adore?
He said we’re all hypocrites that follow the wrong path.
Now he faces the Bald Eagle’s wrath.
Joined together with Countries afar,
Let’s see who’ll win this so called religious war.
Osama Bin Laden you think you rule, but you’re nothing more
Than the back end of a mule!
Our God we know is just and kind, and I know he’s watching
And isn’t blind.
For all the Mothers, Fathers, Son and Daughters too,
I pray that the end of your pain is soon for you.
You took the lives that they held so dear,
And filled their hearts with hate and fear.
Justice will be done, be it far or near.
President Bush made that perfectly clear.
Osama Bin Laden you hurt America and me.
I will always wonder, “How could this be?”
