Phoenix

Twin towers, falling

Fire blooming from the sky

No rhyme or reason

No answers, no why

.

Ashes

Both lives and buildings

Hopes and dreams

Faith in a better tomorrow

Gone with silent screams

.

Ashes

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

No love for sacred life

No acceptance, uncaring

Mindless strife

.

Rising

Reborn from ashes

Hopes and dreams

Faith in a better tomorrow

New, brighter dreams

.

Reborn

No longer fearful

Resolute, determined

Building a better tomorrow

Together, we stand
