Remembering September 11, 2001...

In America, a hero died
And when he's laid to rest,
There will be no big display
Just a rose upon his chest.

In America, a hero died
Though he did not go off to war,
His wife and kids left crying
Wondering what it all was for.

In America, a hero died
While sitting at her desk,
Safely inside the Twin Towers
Not knowing what would happen next.

In America, a hero died
While flying on a plane,
The Pentagon almost destroyed
By a terrorist's plan so insane.

In America, a hero died
Responding to a call,
A heart so true, in police blue,
In the line of duty did they fall.

In America, a hero died
Walking in to fight the fires of hell,
And on that day, a fireman waved
And smiled his last farewell.

In America, a flag still waves
And freedom, it still rings,
A sense of unity under our God
That these heroes’ deaths did bring.
