Boarding the Plane,
On a Brand New Day,
The Lives of the Passengers,
The Prices They Pay.
 

1 to San Fran.,
3 to L.A.,
The Terror Struck Nation,
Watched in Dismay.
 

Everyone Has a Story,
These One-Ten Tall,
The Terror Struck Nation,
Watched it Just Fall.
 

Crumbled to the Ground,
One After the Other,
The Terror Struck Nation,
Loses a Brother.
 

Vulnerability is Real,
We Aren't Safe at All,
On September 11,
We Watched it just Fall.
 

In the Land of Liberty,
Land of the Free,
A Terror Struck Nation,
It's Not Supposed to Be.
