That September Day
What did they think that September day?
That taking our loved ones away would kill our Spirit?
When they struck on that beautiful, perfect September day,
Did they think that destroying buildings would make the American people sway
From the democratic principles that we live by?
Did the hatred in their hearts cloud their judgment?
Did they honestly think on that September day
that they would make us give in to terror, to hatred, to fear?
That we would abandon our pride, our love of freedom?
They should know from our History that this would not be true.
Freedom is our way of life and we've always sacrificed
Our lives when necessary for it to prevail
What did they think that September day?

Will never kneel
To nature's grasp."
"Nor will they break
When hurricane
