THE TOWERS

I saw the world close down today Right before my eyes The eagle of this mighty land Flies under darkened skies The pentagon is covered With a cloud of smoke and gray Americas' majestic flag Is masked in shades of gray

Explosions quake the earth below While fire strikes the sky Blacken clouds tornado through Several now have died Glass and dust resemble rain Towers fall as toys A day I thought would never come Transpires a fateful course

The death count is too numerous And cannot yet be done The government that stands so strong On street corners call to God The cries are heard across the land Each citizen must pray America, My glorious land Stands on ALERT today

America, lets not forget That freedom has a price It wasn't purchased easily Each person has to fight So though we sorrow greatly And hearts are in dismay Each piece we'll cherish gently As we gather them today

Gather them be sure we will Rebuilding every stone Together we have formed this land We will not let it fall Strength within the battle The flag will not be hid Once again we proudly say In God we trust, again.
