Little sister, how I miss her

are you right there next to me?

Always perfect always sweet

kindest heart to all you meet

perched eighty stories up in the air

you worked so hard to get there

and for all the miles that you could see

as many dreams that will never be

Oh my brother, like no other

You were always right there next to me

You never seeked fortune nor seeked fame

you were honored for what you became

and you ran in, when most ran out

cause that’s what you’re all about

you gave your life to helping others

eternal rest with your new brothers

Where’s Mommy? I’m so sorry

Did I do something wrong?

No my child you’re the reason

I fight this war so close to home

I chose these orders, so there’s no borders

from keeping you in my sight

But sound the alarm at the Pentagon

Mommy’s not coming home tonight

And I always felt I should’ve been there

but I guess it wasn’t meant to be

and I’m not really sure why you saved me

I’ll guess we’ll just have to wait and see

Cause those you took were all more worthy

they had so much more left to give

Forgive me Father, but I often question

how you choose who dies and gets to live

Fateful plight, eternal light

You didn’t ask to take that flight

Shattered dreams, throughout the screams

not sure what this life really means

From those towers, you took ours

We’re just left with wilted flowers

Countless masses, time still passes

You made Angels Amongst those Ashes

Oh my Son, how you’ve become

The man I always wanted to be

travelling always to another meeting

your fellow fliers always greeting

and when the unthinkable was thrust upon you

You didn’t hesitate, or question fate

And I’m sure you led the way

to the countless lives you saved that day

To my Father, it’s no bother

to take where you left off

I’m the oldest and the boldest

so I’ll watch over Mom

And my brothers will always have covers

over their heads at night

And I’ll stay strong throughout the years

and try not to let them see my tears

To my wife, where’s the life?

together we used to share

I’m all alone by the phone

where you last made that call

Your final thoughts were to say goodbye

yet I have no tears left to cry

for my life is frozen till then

when I get to see you again

And I always felt I should’ve been there

but I guess it wasn’t meant to be

and I’m not really sure why you saved me

I’ll guess we’ll just have to wait and see

Cause those you took were all more worthy

they had so much more left to give

Forgive me Father, but I often question

how you choose who dies and gets to live
