Beacon of Hope

Staring out to the sea

Standing firm and tall

Lady Liberty

Beheld madness in flight

With each blast she shuddered

Yearning to just embrace

All her children close

Still had the grace

To stand fast for a world

Whose freedom she mothered

Her torch held high as gauntlets where hurled

She’s a beacon of hope to the world

Staring up at the flames

Rushing into aid

More than simply names

Yea these heroes were parents

Sisters and brothers

Hearts broken by debris

Rising with the cloud

For eternity

Oh their deeds are engraved

Who thought first of others

From dust and smoke that billowed and curled

They’re a beacon of hope to the world

Not one will die in vain

All the souls we lost

Somehow still remain

We remember with

Every flag we wave

Every uttered prayer

Faces of the brave

And you know we’ll all

Miss them now they’re gone

From the towers tall

And the pentagon

Let us now commit

To flight 93

Heroes that they were

We intend to be

And our stars and strips continue unfurled

It’s a beacon of hope to the world
