We Will Never Forget

Tick Tock the clock doesn't stop;

Until the sound of the alarm goes off.

It's the same routine;

Get ready for a job to be done.

Kiss your kids goodbye

As you drive into rush hour under the morning sun,

In the city that never blinks an eye;

Like Nostradamus who predicted the airplanes falling from the sky.

Crashing into federal buildings with flames too strong to die

The heart of America is bleeding from the wounds inside.

Tragedy on September 11,2001, from US enemies were cruel,

Like a soilder's honor I salute to the red, white, and blue.

In memory to those who woke up to their last dawn,

With an "Amazing Grace" as the theme song.
