September Eleven Two Thousand One
Our gracious God gave us a beautiful day
with a sky of endless blue
No clouds to be seen
A day of possibilites
love and serenity
with peace for all mankind
A most beautiful extraordinary day
September eleven two thousand one
With a devious plan
Chaos the perpetual enemy
came from a far land
Filled with jealousy
Filled with animosity
He came to our land of liberty
North Carolina Texas Alaska
The land of milk and honey
Home of the free and the brave
New York, California Tennessee
With a vengenance
In a mad crazed frenzy
He broke the hour glass
Poured out the sands of time
He threw the lightning bolts
Committed a heinous crime
In an instant Our great nation
fell to its knees
Stunned into disbelief
Lives turned upside down
A great voice in the clouds
Heard around the world
Cried out 'Lets Roll'
Chaos had no more lightning bolts
But had taken his toll
Our gracious God was there
His heart was broken
For what he had seen
He opened his arms and welcomed
Our people to Heaven
On this beautiful September eleven
