Just 3 years ago now, they let me know you were gone
New York the plans they made
Put a hurt on you
Death and destruction hurt so many, and how
How could we all forget who they did it to?

Chorus:
Oh, we've seen fire and we've seen pain
We thought sunny days were just not supposed to end
But in dreadful times we should rally round as friends
Did you think you'd see those Twin Towers again?

Won't you look down upon us, Jesus
They say that you're the risen man
You've just got to help us rise through ashes now
This country's achin' and just what is the plan...
To people who hate us we will never bow

(Repeat Chorus)

Been turnin' my mind to that day in time
So many brave ones died
Lord knows we've got lots of foes
Who ain't ever satisfied
Well, there ain't no time to moan and pine
Let's talk about things to come
So things like flying machines
Won't make rubble on the ground

Oh, we've seen fire and we've seen pain
Once we thought that sunny days would never end
But in dreadful times did we rally round as friends?
Did you think you'd see those Twin Towers again?

Thought I'd see them one more time again
There's just a few things whirling around in my mind
Thought I'd see them thought I'd see them
Pyre of pain
