"AMERICA PRAYS"
"AMERICA PRAYS"
As the sun rises
above the trees, between the buildings,
across the mountain
tops,
We will forever look
at its beauty in a whole new way,
Nineteen
terrorists changed our lives,
how we see, how we
feel, how we love,
How often we express
it, and how often we pray.
When we see an
airplane, floating through the air,
And hear loud noises,
and see things that we don't normally see,
We immediately think
the worst, and a sense of panic reaches our minds.
Nineteen
terrorists changed our lives forever,
how we think, how we
touch, how we breath,
How we handle each
days, constant bump and grind.
When our children
leave home, just to go to the store,
We make sure they
know and understand we love them and appreciate them,
Nineteen
terrorists changed our lives,
every aspect of the
way we live, the way we feel,
And we must never let
the light in our hearts grow dim.
Before the
devastation, before the murder of innocent life,
When we heard Nine
One One, we thought of accidents and heart attacks,
Today we think of
terrorists, Trade Centers, Pentagons, Pennsylvania, and Heroes,
Nineteen
terrorists changed our lives,
and we will never
regain the world we knew,
But now we have found
compassion, and extra room where love grows.
Nineteen terrorists,
took a Nation, brought havoc and destruction upon it,
We were complacent,
we were comfortable with the ideas of being safe and free,
We are the USA, the
mighty of the mightiest,
Terrorism was
something we just didn't see.
So today one year
later, we bow our heads and on bended knees,
We pray to God above
for the strength and insight to get through another day.
And as for those
nineteen terrorists that changed our lives so dramatically:
They intended to
cause fear, but what they truly did was to;
"Cause America,
and the world to kneel and pray."
