The day started quite normal
everything seemed just fine
then tragedy stuck
at a quarter to nine.
From the sky terror came
that airplane was doomed
the fire balls huge
the thick black smoke plumed.
Then a half hour later
still hard to believe
the other tower was hit
we all started to grieve.
As a nation we mourned
and as one we cried
for all those poor people
we knew had just died.
Then down to the south
in our Capital, DC
the Pentagon was hit,
now that made three.
We sat and we watched
and prayed that was all
then in great horror
we watched two towers fall.
Through the dust and the smoke
the reality rose
we had just lost
thousands of souls.
And something else happened
and you know that it's true
people jumped into action
they knew what to do.
From fireman to doctors
to steelworkers too
that mountain of rubble
they had to sift through.
They swallowed their pain
and showed us the best
real American pride
we're not like the rest.
Oh this country of ours
is diverse it's true
but deep down inside
we're all Red,White and Blue.
So, Osama bin Laden
I pray this reaches you
for your days are numbered
your terror is through.
You've proved that your clever
and we know that you're rich
but we're gonna get you
you Son of a Bitch!!!
These feelings were
penned by one,
shared by millions.
GOD BLESS AMERICA
