Our World Changed

Clear blue skies were seen on a morning bright.
Planes moved through the September air in flight
Unknown two planes were flying way too low
Breaking glass fell to streets way down below.

Panic grew as people ran for their lives
Screams of fear as masses strive to survive
Chaos ensued as debris hit the ground
Humans fell from the sky landing around.

Lord please don’t let this old world forget
Three thousand friends their days number set
Our world changed for everybody that day
Father please teach us how to live, your way.

At a building in a city miles away
Another plane crashed disrupting the day
This time the building did survive
A place where heroes plan and freedom thrive.

Roaring noise silence falls darkness ruled the day
Voices heard brings hope again grace from far away
Heroes ran tall to the storm laid so small
Heroes ran to the storm now not heard at all

Lord please don’t let this old world forget
Three thousand friends their days number set
Our world changed for everybody that day
Father please teach us how to live, your way.

Police and fire fighters led that infamous day
Heroes who entered the storm to search and to save
Risking it all, were risking body and life
Heroes there, walls breakdown, lost life their hearts in strife.

Lord please don’t let this old world forget
Three thousand friends their days number set
Our world changed for everybody that day
Father please teach us how to live, your way.</p>

Hijackers take over another plane
Heroes can see past the terrorist’s game
Fliers and crew vow they won’t reach their goal
Stopping evil plans giving shouts of “Let’s Roll.”

A mournful day we won’t soon forget
Remembering souls lost, some who’d just met
Patriots live in the home of the brave
Heroes here now and those beyond the grave.

Lord please don’t let this old world forget
Three thousand friends their days number set
Our world changed for everybody that day
Father please teach us how to live, your way.
