We shall never forget that grave day
Nor the lives which were taken away

So closely we stood, so much to bear
September Eleventh stays so clear

Forever changed, our will must endure
Keeping freedom strong within our shore

The bridge of time holds so much to view
Some visions hold heartache, all too true

Those faced with great loss, so understand
The ultimate cost of our free land

God help each one as they meet each day
Your prayers could send your love their way

Remember the brave who march for all
Completely committed to meet each call

As each year passes before our eyes
Our way must sustain, no compromise

Emotions do make us what we are
September Eleventh – Stays Never Far
