Five Candles

Five candles flicker in the wind, as we remember that September morn
It's been five years now since 9-11-2001, when terrorists stormed
Still the memories of that day are as fresh as when it happened
Everything suddenly stopped and some thought it was The End

September 11th was a wake-up call that the U.S. must never forget
Because we must never ever think there is not a terror threat
If we cut and run away now and hide in in our selfish caves
Be warned: very soon The Eagle would be captured and caged

September 11th is now simply known as Patriot Day
When ordinary men and women step up to seek and save
Americans look out for one another because Jesus taught us
Love one another as I have loved you...and reach out to the lost

Lift up your voice to Jesus and pray for the leadership of the United States
God answers the one who asks, seeks, knocks, prays...   and waits...

keep the candles burning.
