...and America cried..... I awoke this morning, to a day that seemed so clear A perfect September morning, it certainly did appear But then I turned the TV on, and it brought me to my knees Oh My God this can't be happening, Oh Lord this just can't be Videos of the plane, crashing into the tower And then there was another, this is our darkest hour Then to the heart of America, this EVIL did go The Pentagon was attacked, adding to the toll Pittsburg was the next to see another plane go down In memory of the innocent,.... a moment without a sound Thousands of people trapped within each place May God have mercy on them, and keep them in his grace So many loved ones still missing, as we moved into the night As a country full of mourning, now we did unite We always felt so secure, within this great land We took so much for granted, we didn't understand That the horror we see in other lands, could come to our shores May this country return to God, and remain forever more Never have we witnessed a day such as this Be sure to say I love you, and give a hug and a kiss Today we stand united, our flag it still flies God Bless America on the day so many cried with tears.....
