Out reach out stretched hand
Mercifully clinging to life
Do not let it slip
The whole worlds anguish
In a split second is numbed
A flash of terror
We forget the pain
And roughness humanity
To unite in cause
Life is hardest when
Terror strikes and panic sets
Brave are the living
It gradually slips
Like a crumbling tower
Life and hope are lost
Pride and spirit filled
American children’s flags
A picture of strength
Delaney cries woe
I wish I had understood
What he knew and felt
Bad things happened then
An American dark day
Spirit and strength unite
United we stand
How our nation remembers
We’ll never forget
