can i have a restart--that day over again?
that one turned out wrong--don't like the way it happened
let's go back, let's change things to before they occurred
let's do things the way they do on the computer

*click*
the attacks--our defenses would forstall
*click*
ground zero--no more--the towers stand tall
*click*
the pentagon walls stand strong, undamaged
*click*
a midwestern field would not be ravaged
*click*
our loved ones--they're safe, all accounted for
*click*
there would be no need for this awful war
*click*
heroes would do what they love, saving lives
*click*
my friend, joyce, wouldn't have died--she survived
*click*
we wouldn't see the images that seared
*click*
there would be no nightmares, there'd be no tears
*click*
we wouldn't be glued to our t.v. screens
*click*
we could go about our normal routines
*click*

and SAVE

can i have a restart? that day over again?
that one turned out wrong--don't like the way it happened
let's go back, let's change things to before they occurred
let's do things the way they do on the computer

*always remember and never forget*
