September 11th

Today is a rough day for many, myself included. Hard to believe its been 8 years already. I pass through Pentagon parking every single day I drive to work, and it's a constant reminder. I haven't forgot, nor will I.

Petagon on this rainy morning.

God Bless all that lost their lives that day, you haven't been forgotten.

Think about the love inside the strength of heart
Think about the heroes saving life in the dark
Climbing higher through the fire
Time was running out
Never knowing you weren't going to be coming down alive

But you still came back for me
You were strong and you believed

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong believe

Be strong believe

Think about the chance I never had to say
Thank you for giving up your life that day
Never fearing only hearing voices calling out
Let it all go the life that you know
Just to bring them down alive

And you still came back for me
You were strong and you've believed

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong believe

Again today,
We take into our hearts and mind
Those who perished on this site one year ago
And also,
Those who came to toil in the rubble
To bring order out of chaos,
To help us make sense of our despair

Wanna hold my wife when I get home
Wanna tell the kids they'll never know
How much I love to see them smile
Wanna make a change right here right now
Wanna live a life like you somehow
Wanna make your sacrifice worthwhile

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong believe

Think about the love inside the strength of heart
Think about the heroes saving lives in the dark

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong believe

Think about the chance I never had to say
Thank you for giving up your life that day

The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
