ONE

One name unknown
Spoken proudly, spoken boldly
Remembered amidst silence
And unified sorrow
A new breed of hero prevails
As darkness turns to dawn
Will the United States ever be the same
As countless tomorrows slowly come?


One life sacrificed, given into eternity
To help those still lost and living
In a moment of honor and valor
Selflessly, lending their inner soul power
Fate turned tragic, like a wand casting black magic
Hearts of mortal men reduced to tears
Shadowed within the dust in chaotic clamor
Yet, through Heaven's gates
They currently keep entering.


One nation astounded
Surrounded by the world's hopes and prayers
Tears...anger...disbelief....linger in the smoke-filled air
Emotions compounded by death everywhere
But, a single embrace from a person near
Helps ease the pain, lessen the fears
Yes! Freedom has been attacked
Fear has been invoked, the evil is real
But soon, evil's license will be revoked!


One flag flying high and mighty still
People may suffer, but freedom will never be killed
The flowing banner of red, white , and blue
Has been tested again, yet-stands solid and true
Symbolizing America's zest
I'd wrap that colored cloth around my chest
And wear it into the pits of Hell
Like a bullet-proof vest
To fight for one way of life, liberty, and justice.


One is the only way for the world
To gaze upon a safer day
Unity for all, happiness...no pain
One by one, we still push onward
Until that glorious day our sadness and sorrows
Are forever erased
And we spend eternity with God
In His kingdom of peace!!
