One
This was written by Cheryl Sawyer, a professor at
As the soot and dirt and ash rained down,
As we lit candles of waiting and hope
As we fell to our knees in prayer for strength,
As we mourned together the great loss
We are...
One color
We are The Power of One.
UH Clear Lake in the counseling department.
We became one color.
As we carried each other down the stairs of the burning building
We became one class.
We became one generation.
As the firefighters and police officers fought their way into the inferno
We became one gender
We became one faith.
As we whispered or shouted words of encouragement,
We spoke one language.
As we gave our blood in lines a mile long,
We became one body.
We became one family.
As we cried tears of grief and loss
We became one soul.
As we retell with pride of the sacrifice of heroes
We become one people.
One class
One generation
One gender
One faith
One language
One body
One family
One soul
One people
We are United.
We are America.
