The Heroes of Our Hearts
"In Honor of the Lives Lost on September 11, 2001"

It seems like only yesterday, we saw the towers fall,
And men and women just like us had died and left us all.
Fathers, mothers, sisters, friends and brothers were the ones,
A passenger, policeman, and a fireman or a son.
These precious souls have lost their lives; this country's not the same,
And we have not forgotten, for America's our name.
The senseless act of violence that we suffered on that day,
May bruise our land and crush our hearts, but we've sustained our faith.
The magnitude of hate for us was wrought in wicked deeds,
They took the lives because they know we're wealthy, blessed and free.
And yes, because we're free today, we're hated and despised,
So much that evil, heathen men have taken many lives.
But even in their lame attempt to bring our country down,
They failed the day they landed on this brave and sacred ground.
No matter who may try to come and pierce us with their swords,
One day we know they'll answer to the judgment of the Lord.
Now carry on America, the Lord has seen your wound,
The ones who caused us pain that day have met their day of doom.
For satan's turning up the flames upon these evil men,
It must be hot for those who live in hell's eternal den .
So I will rest and know that we'll prevail in freedom's job,
As long as we're America, one nation under God.
And as we honor God today, let's honor those who died,
On September 11th - that's the day our nation cried.
This eagle may have shed a tear but proudly she will land,
Upon the ground protected by God's strong and loving hand.
And as she flies, our hearts will soar with pride for I will know,
The torch of Liberty will shine no matter where I go.
For as the towers fell that day and planes began to fall,
And as they hit the Pentagon, those men attacked us all.
But those who love America will fight and they will stand,
For peace and freedom rules this vast and treasured, sacred land.
So, Lord please help us all today, the families and the friends,
Who miss the ones who've gone before, because of evil men.
And grant us peace and let us know that even in attack,
Because of who we are, You'll grant us strength in fighting back.
The ones who died that day will be forever on our minds,
Let's pause in prayer for those they left, that peace in life they'll find.
Just know the ones who met their death are as the Heaven's stars,
They'll shine the light of freedom; they're the heroes of our hearts
