My eyes were the windows,
that sombered me,
upon that fateful morn,
I watched a nation, cry with me,
today, I still am torn,
I tried to take, the morning sun,
and place it, where I bleed,
but inside my heart, I have a tear,
a tear, that will not leave,
I'm swallowed with, a piercing wound,
upon my heart and soul,
I prayed to God, like many other's,
but still can't let it go,
I search for answers, to find a cure,
I yearn for a relief,
I grieve, for those, I never knew,
I ask, for world peace,
In my heart, I'm blackened,
with tears, I can't erase,
I hear, thee Anthem's sung,
I sing, Amazing grace,
I struggle with, a pain inside,
I never knew, was there,
Inside my heart, I'm bleeding,
I cry, another tear,
I search for understanding,
but cannot, hear the sounds,
I watch, as rescuers' scramble,
through ruins, on the ground,
I'm trapped inside, a cloud of death,
oozing out with pain,
Those, I call my brother,
died, inside my veins,
I listen on, for echoes,
a piece, of yesterday,
I cry another tear, again,
my brothers', gone away,
I bleed inside for many,
and pray for departed souls'
Although a new day, is dawning,
I still can't let it go,
I'm trapped, inside the silence,
and torn, by many tears,
Some, I never knew,
sombered now, in fear,
I'm swallowed, by the feelings,
the song of yesterday,
I'm blessed to be, An American,
I kneel down and pray,
I walk into tomorrow,
a piercing wound, inside,
Today, I am blessed,
my friend, I say ...... Goodby!
