Why? Why did we wake up to this nightmare?
Everyday we sit, we watch and we stare.
Lady Liberty stands watch over the city.
Her spiritual wings of comfort drooping in pity.
The flying bombs explode leaving darkness by noon.
Heroes are born only to leave us too soon.
The rest of the heroes stand by without sleeping.
While one can only imagine that Jesus is weeping.
Oh God, oh why do our brothers fight?
When death is the answer, no one is right.
Two gates stand silently, one is unseen.
So many loved ones have now passed between.
Bare husks are all that remains on the ground.
The only peace found is in the angels that surround.
From Lady Liberty a lone bird does fly.
But he is strengthened by brother Eagle in the sky.
So while Lady Liberty stands watch, we wait and mourn.
Out of the Waters of the Heavens, we will be reborn.
Although the city was covered in ash, our strength became greatness.
Then as the World mourned, their prayers covered the city in sweetness.
