A beautiful morning

On a beautiful morning planes went in the air
Bringing along destruction, despair
As the nation turned its eyes to the sky
Wondering why so many had died

As the Towers lay in ruins all around
While ashes and soot covered the ground
The country was shocked and silently stood
Sharing our grief as only we could
Those who did this thought to bring us down

But together, hand in hand, side-by-side, we stood our ground
Although the outcome right now may look pretty grave
We are still the land of the free, the home of the brave
And the one thing we've learned on this darkest of days
Is that NO ONE can take our freedom away
