Remembering 9-11 MckLinky Blog Hop

I remember the day as if it were yesterday. I was in 7th grade and that morning seemed surreal. I was at school when the towers hit and my mom came to get me. I was in shock and really did not, at first, understand why someone would kill people without a blink of an eye. I had many emotions and feelings going through my head and was just plain scared.

That day...I will never forget...the day the world changed on 9-11-01. It kindof made me think of why someone would hit the towers on "9-11" but now I know. I know that people are cruel and that those who took many lives that day did not care at all. But this was way too much for a 7th grader to comprehend. I just remember the world changing on this day and I will never forget this date.

Darryl Worley wrote a song "Have you forgotten" and these are the lyrics. Every single time I hear it...I tear up. No one will forget this day.

I hear people sayin'.
We Don't need this war.
I say there's some things worth fightin' for.
What about our freedom, and this piece of ground?
We didn't get to keep 'em by backin' down.
They say we don't realize the mess we're gettin' in
Before you start preachin' let me ask you this my friend.

Chorus
Have you forgotten, how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away

Have you forgotten, when those towers fell
We had neighbors still inside goin through a livin hell
And you say we shouldn't worry bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
You took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbin for you and me
It'll just breed anger is what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it everyday
Some say this country just out lookin' for a fight
Well after 9/11 man I'd have to say right.

Chorus
Have you forgotten, how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten, when those towers fell
We had neighbors still inside goin through a livin hell
And you say we shouldn't worry bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
you can bet they remember just what they're fightin' for

Have you forgotten
All the people killed
Yes some went down like heroes
In that Pennsylvania field

Have you forgotten
About our Pentagon
All the loved ones that we lost
And those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry 'bout Bin Laden

Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?!

No one can forget this sight that was portrayed on the news on this day...
