JERRY CALOW
SEPTEMBER ELEVEN
September Eleven rendered unto heaven
the souls of so many, loved ones a plenty
The World Trade Center’s towers of human genders
were forced to surrender to the plane senders
Chorus:
Never, not ever will they return
mountains will crumble, seas will tumble
things will never be the same
So many ordinary people to protect family,
country and steeple
flew home to their maker in the clutches
of the plane takers
Only misguided morals would dictate such horrors
as ground zero turned asunder
in a crashing cloud of thunder
Conjoined in the pull of gravity
and with so much calamity
ground zero was born and a nation was torn
Chorus:
Never, not ever will they return
mountains will crumble, seas will tumble
things will never be the same
The brotherhood of heroes in the aftermath
of human torpedoes
put their lives on the line for your life and mine
This haloed ground zero birthplace of heroes
womb of the nation a symbol to all generations
This nation above all will rally a call
that justices prevail and freedom be hailed
Chorus:
Never, not ever will they return
mountains will crumble, seas will tumble
things will never be the same
America’s resolve is to find credence for all
our freedom was blighted, our fervor ignited
We take upon ourselves an allegiance that swells
our enduring commitment to pursue this engagement
America’s endeavor is to preach forever
that freedom loving nations can live in peace and revelation
Chorus:
Never, not ever will they return
mountains will crumble, seas will tumble
things will never be the same
America’s endeavor is to preach forever
that freedom loving nations can live
in peace…… again!
