The sad events of September 11, 2001 inspired many songwriters to write songs. We list here lyrics of some songs, and hope these will help all of us to be reminded of the events and feelings of the 9-11 attack. We also invite you to post your own memorial thoughts.
First and foremost, since this site is affiliated with 24K Gold Music Shows, we want to feature their original 9-11 memorial song called The Day America Cried. Please see below its lyrics:
There was something wrong, so very wrong,
The news was pouring in,
As the planes just kept on fallin' ... from the skies.
Then the hopes and dreams of millions, were changed forevermore,
All our tears declare, the day our heroes died.
CHORUS
I'll never forget... America CRIED...
As lives were lost... from all across the land.
The flag was unfurled... And bravely replied...
The day ... Our heroes died.
ENDING REFRAIN...(The day... America Cried)...
I will not forget those little ones, whose parents lost their lives,
Nor the rescue teams who paid the awful price,
Or the gallant ones who struggled, There aboard flight ninety-three,
As they gave their lives to take it from the skies.
CHORUS
I'll never forget... America CRIED...
As lives were lost... from all across the land.
The flag was unfurled... And bravely replied...
The day... Our heroes died.
ENDING REFRAIN...(The day... America Cried)...

A Hero is a charity song for children who lost a firefighter/police parent in the 911 attack. Written by Amy Matthew & Karen Mack from KAR Records, sung by Regina Snyder.
Look up from your table and put down your wine,
quiet the minstrels at play.
Ask why I weep, well I bear you the news
of innocents fallen today.
The high rising spires that gleamed in the sun
lie broken and charred by the shore.
The four shining ships with the clouds in their sails
will glide 'neath the heavens no more.
Lead me down,
lead me down to the river,
wash what I've seen from my eyes.
I would weep by the water for innocence fallen,
fallen to nevermore rise. [click here for the rest of the lyrics]
I woke up Tuesday morning and turned on channel five
Two towers were on fire - two eagles hit the side
I didn't know what happened, but I knew something was wrong
Two smokestacks on the skyline two hours after dawn
I saw it in slow motion like a Hollywood cartoon
But any doubt I might've had just vanished all too soon
Then one after another with an unforgotten sound
Twin soldiers disappeared - twin soldiers hit the ground
[Chorus]
You can't break my back and you can't keep me down
'Cause I believe that freedom will keep me standing tall
Despite the weight upon my shoulders and confusion on my mind
I will rise up even stronger and heal over time [rest of the lyrics]

Roselle is a song about a guide dog who was working for her owner in one of the twin towers on 9-11-01. They were 80 floors up, and when everything happened, she did exactly what a guide dog is trained to do: Don't panic, and calmly lead your blind owner to safety. Lyrics are here.
