Tonight twenty years ago was it, For tomorrow our country would be hit The night before was filled with hopes and dreams Hours later our eyes cried so much it could fill streams People would become heroes in buildings and on planes Little did we all know our country would never be the same The next day we'd be thrust into a war we didn't want to fight In these times it's very hard to tell who's wrong or right We all want to go back to that night in September But we can't go back so we must always remember
