Song for America

The world heard cries of heavens

On that terrible day: September 11th

So many human souls were gone

They weren’t meant to see next dawn

The heart of the planet was bleeding and crying

When innocent people were dying and dying

There was an attempt of annihilation

Of the freedom-loving nation

In state of despair steadfast faith had been lost

Fear penetrated into the human mind like a ghost

The human being not always accepts and understands

Why destiny chooses a certain course of events

But having cried out bitter tears of sorrow

America found bravery to fight for better tomorrow
