I sit in horror, watching my TV
The images I see are hard to believe.
The World Trade Centre, spewing smoke in the air.
Oh God, please help the people in there.

Another jet plane then flies by,
What happens next brings tears to my eye.
A big ball of fire, smoke and debris
Oh God, NO! How can this be?

Two towers, two planes, an accident? NO WAY!
Terrorists have struck America today.
Planes full of people, towers full too
Oh God, oh God, what can we do?

I sit and stare at the tv screen,
Totally shocked by the unfolding scene.
Too far away to help in any way
Oh God, please be with America today!

Another news flash, the horror goes on
A third plane has crashed into the Pentagon!
Smoke and flames belch from this building too
Oh God, I can't believe this is all true.

As my heart grows heavier, and my mind goes numb,
I can hardly believe there's more to come,
One tower caves in, too weak to keep standing
Oh God, this thing is beyond my understanding

Thousands of lives snuffed out in a flash,
Crushed to death in the towers crash.
A pile of rubble, a giant dust cloud,
Oh God, this horror should never be allowed.

The second tower soon follows its mate.
For those inside it's now too late
To say "I Love You" to family and friends
Oh God, when will this horror end?

Another plane has crashed in a Pennsylvanian field,
More lives to add to the terrorists' yield.
How much more can we endure, how much more will there be?
Oh God, please stop this, we've had enough, can't you see?

The violence and destruction is hard to believe.
America is in mourning, the world, too, will grieve.
This day will leave a scar on our global soul
Oh God, please help us, never again will we be whole.
