8:00 am
As I climbed into the cab for my morning commute,
I say good bye to my wife and child,
Off to work,
Oh, the blue skies, and birds chirping,
What a beautiful day it was.

8:30 am
I arrive at the World Trade Center…
Oh isn’t it wonderful to work at eight in the morning,
Gosh, it wonderful to wake up to the Empire State Building, The MET,
And oh how could I forget Central Park.

8:45 am
A woman with whom I work with began to yell,
“There are planes heading for the building!!”
I begin to pray for my family,
Please help me, PLEASE!

9:00 am
Debris flew around me,
My lungs heavy,
Like a load of bricks were on my chest,
I see an apartment building and run inside,
Looking back at my colleagues 

10:20 am
Police and firemen appear,
They tell us part of the Pentagon is dust,
I begin to think of all the innocent civilians,
Why must they die?
They have meant no harm.
