The World Stood Still
Early one morning on a September day
While we were all busy at work or play
Two towers stood tall as the day before
Not knowing that tomorrow they’d stand no more
When the first plane crashed into tower one
No one knew what had just begun
As people were trying to get out alive
Then plane number two took its dive
Then out of the blue one building fell
You could see people run and hear them yell
As we all sat and watched in fear
We dropped to our knees and sheaded tears
Many workers, children firefighters and more
Were all in the path of the mad men that soared
And as the dust from the building began to fade
We all felt sadness but still we prayed
Then the news that another plane had just went down
Out in Pennsylvania, but it hit the ground
For the passengers that rode that plane that day
Stood up for their country in their own way
What else what else could our country take
But another plane went down and the Pentagon did shake
More people were injured and more lives were lost
And the people that did this would pay the cost
Many lives were lost on that September day
As our world stood, still and each of us prayed
Many people just like you and me
Gave their life to set another one free
And on this day when our world stood still
We all joined as one, in God’s Will
For the towers that stood in New York so tall
On September 11th affected us all
