Courage was their cross

Sirens screamed to warn of disaster.
Both men and women risked all to save
Those bitten by terrorisms cur

Ring around the rosie

One building begins to smoke and burn.
Then another. Dangerous reception,
And yet they went in without concern.

A pocket full of posies

Saving lives crowded by destruction,
They sing a silent song of prayer but
Won’t come out until the job is done.

Ashes, ashes…

A nation watched, as heroes were lost
In the red-hot crushing mass. All heroes
Who lived and died... Courage was their cross.

We all fall down
