The eleventh of September, the year two-thousand-one.
We were wakened from our warm and peaceful sleep
The world as we had known it would never be the same
For the pain that we had suffered was so deep.

We held each other tightly and did not stop to judge
The color of the hand that we were holding.
We cried in every language, and prayed in every faith
And some could see a new world was unfolding.

From a farm in Indiana to a village in Nepal
In each synagogue and mosque and church
God listens to us all.
There’s a light that’s ever shining
That nothing can forestall…
God Bless Us All.

In one defining moment we were shaken to the core
By a hatred that we just did not foresee.
Now we have the opportunity to rise above it all.
And become a world where all are truly free.

Free from hate and ignorance, intolerance, and fear.
We can build a world that shines so bright.
Let’s open up our hearts to the possibilities.
And walk in faith out of our darkest night.

From the smallest towns and villages,
To the cities standing tall.
From the mightiest of mighty to the smallest of the small,
We will walk away much stronger, if we listen to THE CALL
God Bless Us All.

From a farm in Indiana to a village in Nepal,
In each synagogue and mosque and church
God listens to us all.
There’s a light that’s ever shining
That nothing can forestall…
God Bless Us All.
