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.
