When you left this morning, without a care
harboring no thoughts of harm you were on planes, in offices and life seemed fine no visible cause for alarm
What was on your mind as you began your day ~A day that would be your last ~a baby's mind--in blessed peace ~~an old woman's thoughts--on the past?
What was on the mind of pilots ~simply concentrate on flight? No clue to what would soon transpire or on their unbelievable, unthinkable plight?
What were flight attendants thinking as they made their daily rounds~
Of what movie they might see tonight When safely on the ground?
What were WE thinking~some of us tucked inside our little world ~thinking everything but what would happen as this horrible day unfurled.
In a building high above the city thousands went about their way~
America's work force doing their jobs starting off their day
A sudden sound so ominous from a usual peaceful sky ~of speeding planes and burning flames and soon the world would cry.
Some did live and some did die and heroes everywhere in disregard for their own lives helped thousands out of there.
A gaping hole in monuments that stood tall above the crowds. "My God, where are you" our hearts cried ~our sobs agonizing and loud.
In planes monsters seized to destroy our hearts heroes steered one plane to crash ~two others found their carefully planned marks--American symbols turned to ash
From flames and destruction and unbearable pain~ Souls were carried on Angels wings in a glorious Kingdom they live again where Heavenly choirs sing
America mourns now for all the dead but our hearts united stand
~for we know that after all the hell they're safe within God's hands.
