Where were you when the
world stood still?
In that moment the world
became changed
With an imprint of
terror
Are you speaking a kind
word?
Forged forever in fire
When destruction fell
down like fall rain?
Were you drinking your
coffee?
Were you driving to
work?
Were you holding your
babe to your heart?
Were you humming a song?
Were you righting a
wrong?
Were you ironing your
favorite shirt?
Where were you when the
world broke in
disrupting your everyday
plans?
and disturbing the
notion
that safety and peace
were the inalienable
rights of all man…
Were you calling your
mother?
Were you taking a bath?
Were you going through
the motions of your day?
Were you baking a cake?
Were you planning a
break up
and trying to find the right words to say?
Where were you when the
message came
That nothing in life is
for sure?
And all we get is each
moment with no guarantees
of tomorrow, next week
or next year…
Are you doing your part
to comfort and never
cause pain?
Remember those moments
With your head and your
heart
So the terror did not
happen in vain…
Remember the message,
remember the date
Remember nothing in life
is for sure
for all we get is each
moment with no guarantees
of tomorrow, next week
or next year…
