9/11 Dawn of Hope



It was barely dawn
When the world came crashing down.
No one uttered a single word
They barely made a sound.

The world just stood there frozen
In awe of what was lost.
Innocence crumbled at their feet
The line had just been crossed.

The tears may fall, as the ashes settle
But there is no need to cry.
From the ashes we are lifted
As Americans we rise.

When the smoke has settled
And the gloom has cleared.
We must hold hands and show
And remain united through the fear.

Hope is never lost
Even when all else is gone.
When in the face of fear
We band together and sing this song.

The tears may fall, as the ashes settle
But there is no need to cry.
From the ashes we are lifted

As American’s we rise.
