The world was rocked today   Seems as though it's falling apart   Many things were destroyed   Things dear to the patriotic heart   People hijacked four passenger planes   And did so many things   How could these people be so mean?   Can't they see all the tears they bring?   Two planes were crashed   Into the Twin Towers   The World Trade Center is no more   Peoples' graves will be sprinkled with flowers   Many jumped   From these towers   Hoping to save   A few precious hours   One plane hits the Pentagon   The fire is burning still   America is under attack   Many people they do kill   Once more a plane hits   Pennsylvania this time   Mouths open, no sound   Like a silent mime   Innocent passengers   Bystanders, too   Are now dead   Who did this, who?!   Families are torn apart   They can only mourn   A cloud of death   Has been born   In loving memory   Of those who died   Please know   God's by your side   We must stay strong   So we aren't thought weak   Or war will begin   And havoc will wreak   Oh what will become   Of this crazy event   Will America   Be broken or bent?
