The
Way
They
Were
The
way
they
were,
those
two
proud
towers
standing
close
to
Lady
Liberty,
so
majestic
and
tall
before
a
mad
man's
hate
of
freedom
sent
his
hatred
airborne
and
made
them
crumble
and
fall.
They
could
not
stand
the
force
of
evil
upon
them
that
shook
the
earth
that
day
with
thunderous
moans
they
heaved
for
the
innocent
souls
inside
and
broken
hearted
Americans
hit
their
knees
to
pray.
Their
grace
and
beauty
gone
forever
in
a
pile
of
steel,
ash
and
rock
lives
of
thousands
taken
in
only
moments
as
America
watched
in
horror
and
in
shock.
The
way
they
were,
those
proud
Americans
rose
again
in
unity,
with
blood,
sweat
and
tears,
they
took
the
call
hand
in
hand
they
formed
a
healing
team
saddened
and
shaken
but
still
standing
tall.
