Nine Eleven

shoulder to shoulder
we stand
closing ranks
hand in hand

on my left
is a brother
to my right
there's another

the fire inside
burns and burns
our world outside
it never turns

we cannot change
we're not the same
our hearts are heavy
with every name

our strength grows
day by day
we will not bend
or fade away

remember nine eleven
those not near
together we're united
we do not fear
