The day America cried
as we watched the towers
fall
our tears fell like rain
from the pain we felt
inside
but on freedoms ground
we raised our flag so high
on the day, the day
America cried.
Through the smoke and
rubble
though our hearts were
heavy laiden
we tried, Lord we tried
to save one more precious
life
and tho the lives that
were lost
will always be remembered
for the day, the day
America cried.
Dedicated to women
and men who lost their lives on 09 11
