everything has a reason

everything has a reason it is just up to us

to learn and move forward instead of just wanting to cuss

what happened was tragic and won't go away

but something else wonderful happened that day

for in all the destruction something else arose

and that was all those heroes who upstaged all our foes

some of them now are no longer here

because they chose bravery while those terrorists chose fear

they thought they knew all it would take

to wake up our world for terrors sake

and woke the world up is just what they did

but not for their cause now it's against them instead

because no one out there has that right

to kill and destroy with no end in sight

now the world will stand up and forever take heed

to what has been done, to thwart future terrorist's evil deeds

for fiends like that will no longer be hid

to escape the consequences for the terror they did

because in this world of so many beliefs

we must all stand united to get total relief

understanding that everyone has their own right

to worship their God without needing to fight

but to do this requires one special thing

respect for each other no matter how strange it may seem

and for those that must still dance and cheer

about the death and destruction that happened so near

may everyone out there remember the day

that they rejoiced death when they end up that way
