Dark skies everywhere you look.
Clouds of smoke
Fill the air.
I watch every second of my world change.
I see people's lives coming to an end.
I wonder why it is happening to us.
What have we done to deserve this?
I watch the planes go inside the building
See the faces of my classmates
As they watch with me
I'm getting worried.
Is this the end?
Will I see my family again?
What about the families of the ones that died?
I'm getting real scared now.
Two planes crashed
Now three, and now another one.
I need someone to hold me and tell me everything is just fine
I sit here, crying inside not knowing what's going to happen next.
It's been around a year since this has happen.
I listen to that song Where were you when the world stop turning.
I know where I was then
I was in class, scared, worried about everything.
But now I know I'm fine.
The policemen and women and the fire fighters helped save a lot
Of lives that day.
We will remember that day for a very long time.
