[VERSE 1]
8:46, a clear blue sky
Just another September morning
Thousands working high above
Never knowing what was coming
Then a shadow crossed the sun
And the whole world watched it happen
North Tower burning through the blue
While nobody knew the reason
[PRE-CHORUS]
Hold on
Hold on
Sirens screaming through the streets
Hold on
Hold on
One question hanging in the smoke
[CHORUS]
Are you ready?
Okay, let’s roll
If this is the end
Then we’re taking control
Are you ready?
We may not make it home
Forty hearts stood together
Sharing one brave goal
[VERSE 2-same vocal melody as verse 1]
9:03, another plane
This time the whole world saw it happen
South Tower disappearing
Into fire without a warning
Now we knew this was no accident
Now we knew that something changed
Two towers burning side by side
Against a sky consumed by flame
Then fifty-six minutes later
Steel and concrete lost their fight
The South Tower fell from the skyline
And turned the morning into night
[PRE-CHORUS]
Hold on
Hold on
Sirens screaming through the streets
Hold on
Hold on
One question hanging in the smoke
[CHORUS]
Are you ready?
Okay, let’s roll
If this is the end
Then we’re taking control
Are you ready?
We may not make it home
Forty hearts stood together
Sharing one brave goal
Are you ready?
Okay, let’s roll
[BRIDGE]
No missiles loaded
No time to wait
Two fighters climbing
Towards their fate
“I’ll take the cockpit”
“I’ll take the tail”
One final mission
They could not fail
But heroes they’d never met
Had already made their stand
And somewhere over Pennsylvania
They took the ending from their hands
[BREAKDOWN]
ARE YOU READY?
Forty hearts
(Whispered: One last choice)
OKAY…
(Whispered: No way home but not alone)
LET’S ROLL!!!
[FINAL CHORUS]
Are you ready?
Okay, let’s roll
If this is the end
Then we’re taking control
Are you ready?
We may not make it home
Forty hearts stood together
Sharing one brave goal
One brave goal!!!!
