Wounded

America has been wounded
With a stinging to our hearts
So many lives were taken
So many families torn apart
Children without their mothers
Mothers without their children
Sons and daughters missing fathers
Fathers missing sons and daughters

America has been wounded
With a stabbing to our backs
Somewhere out of no where
Three speeding hijacked planes
Crashing into buildings
Leave nothing but remains
Terrorists attacked our nation
Faceless cowards with no names

America has been wounded
With a numbing to our minds
Heroes desperately searching
For some signs of life
Americans pulling together
Helping others through their strife

America has been wounded
But we are still ALIVE
