HANDS ACROSS THE WORLD
The sound of silence is deafening
As horror prevails our Nation.
A terrorist attack upon our country
Is a traumatic violation.
The fog of war rising to the Heavens
Leaving ashes and death behind
Is a rape of our security and freedom
Instantly changing our life and time?
Parents, children, brothers and sisters,
All suffering the wrath of hell.
With memories embedded so sharp within
On the day the towers fell.
Anger and fears, questions and tears
Waiting word from those we love.
Hope diminishes with smoldering flames;
Still silence in the skies above.
Emotions and opinions running rampant
Like a disease without healing or cure.
But rest assured the hour will come
A price will be paid for this murder.
Even though we each are uniquely different
With our lifestyles, beliefs and tradition
Part of us all died in the rumble
And together we will fight for freedom.
Securing the future for our children
And honoring the lives of those lost
As we join hands across the world
We will stand not fearing the cost.
With God Almighty leading the way
As we take pride in the battle we face
He will lead us through the darkness
As He strengthens our hope and faith.
