FLIGHT 93

You may oft times wonder
Why America stays free
Think of the heroes
On flight 93

Disbelief had gripped us
Lives taken away
In three acts of terror
That fateful day

Choking smoke and dust
Faces of hoarfrost
Tearful men covered gray
Search for the lost

An instant of panic
The country's toll
A battle was lost
'Til the final "Let's roll"
