if only things could go back
to what they were before
when we didn't know attacks
would hit us on our shores

if only things could go back
to what they were before
our loved ones would still be here
instead of being mourned

if only things could go back
to what they were before
buildings would stand safe and tall
amazing heights that soared

if only things could go back
to what they were before
there would be no ground zeroes
with heroes lives restored

if only things could go back
to what they were before
we would once again feel safe
not fear wolves at our door

if only things could go back
to what they were before
before that september day
changed us forevermore

if only things could go back
to what they were before
it was a lifetime ago
now legend now folklore
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

if only things would go back
to what they were before...
but things are different now
and i'm grieving, heartsore
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

always remember and never forget.

((((HUGS)))) and love,

karla. :(
