What Have They Done? (September, 11th. 2001)

Woke up this morning by the dawn’s early light.
Never really knowing it would all change by tonight.
September, 11 th. 2001
My God, What have they done?

Out of the blue, the red and white.
Our loved ones fell, they gave their lives.
They tried to warn us, protect the ones they love.
My God, What have they done?

The stars have fallen, the day is changed.
From this moment forward nothing is the same.
Looked out my window, the skyline is gone.
My God, What have they done?

The coward who did this, never spoke once.
Never came forward, claim what he’d done.
He don’t have a reason - Hatred never does.
My God, What have they done?

Liberty stands, rubble and ash.
And all of those men trying to bring just one back.
They our are hero’s, every single one.
My God, What have they done?

They gave their lives to save the ones we love.

My God, What have they done?

Woke up this morning by the dawn’s early light.


A song of mourning and tribute to the innocent lives lost and the heroic efforts of the first responders during the course of that fateful day.
