Stand Tall, Remembering 9/11

A moment in time, etched in our hearts,

a day we won't forget, where all the pain starts.

Sitting in class, just twelve years old,

The world turned dark, the future felt cold.

Whispers of terror filled the air so dense,

We didn’t know then, but it shattered our innocence.

The teacher's face, a picture of dread,

"There’s been an attack", the announcement said.

We looked at each other, fear in our eyes,

But deep down inside, we knew we had to rise.

So we stand tall, and we fight back,

Raise the banner high, let it never lack.

Through the smoke and the fear, we’ll find our way,

In the land of the brave, we will not sway.

The towers fell down, but the spirit stood strong,

In unity and pride, we embraced the song.

For those that we've lost, we remember their names,

In the face of the darkness, love fires the flames.

The echoes of bravery, ringing so clear,

A nation united, we’ll conquer the fear.

So they may have struck, but we won't bow down,

A heartbeat of freedom, in this sacred ground.

So we stand tall, and we fight back,

Raise the banner high, let it never lack.

Through the smoke and the fear, we’ll find our way,

In the land of the brave, we will not sway.

Across the skies, we remember the past,

With each fallen tear, our resolve will last.

For the heroes we lost, we’ll carry the flame,

A tribute to life, we will honor their name.

So we stand tall, and we fight back,

Raise the banner high, let it never lack.

Through the smoke and the fear, we’ll find our way,

In the land of the brave, we will not sway.

So remember the day, let the story unfold,

Of courage and strength that we choose to hold.

In the heart of us all, love conquers all strife,

Remembering 9/11, the fight for our life.
