Written on the 5th anniversary of 911. |
Shadow warriors board their flights Blending in with the others on board Though on the outside they seemed like all others The inside bore hearts of stone It was their intent to bring us down To drive us to fear to tear us apart The end of it all proved they were wrong As the nation united in deed and in song These shadow warriors soon took over the flights which they were on Two of these flights exploded into the World Trade Center Like a thunderbolt rolling in the sky The Giant Twins both north and south Came crashing down through smoke and ash Elsewhere a flight soared into a portion of the Pentagon Where men and women in uniform as well as some civilians Were going about the business of the day There and at the White House too an evacuation took place Down in Florida children awaited to hear a story told by their president A day like any other until the news broke forth to them As the morning wore on Flight 93 was retaken by its passengers This flight intended to bring down another icon instead crashed in Shanksville, PA Across the country where people should be cowering instead could be seen A nation united together by tragedy in one voice declared they would be strong To all the world this nation became as only one city And so was born US 91101 |
