Words can never be used to describe
The horror of that day
The sadness felt across the land
The feeling of dismay

In just a few short seconds
The world we knew had changed
Nothing will ever be the same
It has all became so strange.

Heroes sprang to life that day
Everyday souls gave all
Becoming extraordinary examples,
Of those who heed the call.

Many lives have left our own,
Their memory lingers still,
But through it all our faith remains
And it always will.

Our enemies my break our bones,
And tumble down our wall,
But our strength comes straight from Him
And He will conquer all.
