A SOLDIERS' WIFE
 
AS THE TOWERS COLLAPSED
THE WORLD WATCHED IN AWE
WHAT WAS UNFOLDING
WAS EFFECTING US ALL

WE ARE UNITED AMERICANS
AND WE DO NOT GIVE IN.
WE WILL PUNISH SEVERELY
THOSE WHO COMMITTED THIS SIN!

I AGREE WITH OUR LEADERS,
WHEN THEY SAY THE WORD
YET MY HEART FILLS WITH FEAR
FOR THE MAN I ADORE.
 
I PRAY FOR THE VICTIMS,
THE HUSBANDS, AND WIVES
THE CHILDREN, THE HEROES
WHO ALL LOST THEIR LIVES.
 
I FEEL THE GRIEF,
AND THE HEARTBREAKING PAIN
AS THEY SORT THROUGH THE RUBBLE
IN THE POURING RAIN   

MY HUSBAND'S A SOLDIER
HE IS READY TO FIGHT
AWAITING A CALL THAT MAY COME
IN THE DARKNESS OF NIGHT.

YET WHEN THE PHONE RINGS,
MY HEART FILLS WITH FEAR
PREPARING FOR THE WORDS
I JUST DONT WANT TO HEAR
 
I AM FILLED WITH SUCH GUILT
FOR FEELING THIS WAY
WHEN SO MANY ARE GRIEVING,
SO PLEASE HELP ME PRAY....

”GOD BLESS THE HERO'S
WORKING NIGHT AND DAY
AND THE VICTIMS FAMILIES
WHO ARE LEFT HOME TO PRAY.

GOD BLESS OUR MILITARY
WHO STAND READY TO FIGHT
AND GOD BLESS THEIR FAMILIES
WHO ARE HIDING THEIR FRIGHT.

GOD BLESS THE VICTIMS
OUR HEARTS GRIEVE FOR YOU
GOD BLESS AMERICA
AND GOD BLESS YOU, TOO!”
