A darker day
Than any night
The day the world
Promised a fight

Silent voices
Speak opinions unheard
As freedom of life
Becomes stirred

As the world feels things
They’ve never felt before
The realization that things
Can’t be the same anymore

Thousands of people
Now lie dead and dying
While a world watches
Crying and crying

American flags
Swaying proudly in the breeze
Still strong
After an act we can’t conceive

Here and abroad
People offer a helping hand
With a world sorrow
United we stand
