It was seven years ago today

Our lives were changed forever

And while today is another day

It's also a day to remember

We must remember those who passed away

And those who breathed the Twin Tower's dust

More, those who used love and compassion to cut a passage way

And earned so many survivors' trust

We must also remember the courageous people

Who this day toil to keep us protected

We must remember to keep our resolve full

And our strength a tower erected

Most of all, we must acknowledge this great land

And be proud to be a part of such a great entity

Where people's generosity is always at hand

And our greatest ferocity is our unity
