Two towers standing tall,

Oh, what horror to see them fall!

Thousands of lives intertwined

From many nations all combined.

Thousands died the day they fell

And all our hearts imploded as well.

Deluded fiends had done the deed

Without respect to race or creed.

And not alone does America mourn

For her departed loved ones and families torn.

But upon the soil of the brave and free

Is the blood and ruins for all to see.

When shall all this madness cease

And nations embrace the message of peace?

Til then, remember the sacrifice

Of all those who paid the greatest price.

But let our citizens keep standing tall

In brotherly love and liberty for all.

For in times of great trouble and adversity

We'll be standing tall for the world to see.
