Take This Day Away

Written by: Jo



Take this day away
Oh Lord we want to pray
Say it can't be true
In the land of the red, white, and blue

Terrorist soared through the sky
Causing far too many souls to die
Images now burned into our brain
From this day when terror reigned

Families now are torn apart
Breaking oh so many hearts
Taking a husband's wife
Sacrificing a small ones life

A country bereaves in pain
From this act so insane
Hold us within your protective hand
Bring peace again to our land
