ONE
As the ash and soot rained down
We became one color

As we carried each other down the stairs of the burning building
We became one class

As we lit candles of waiting and hope
We became one generation

As the firemen and police officers fought their way into the inferno
We became one gender

As we fell on our knees and prayed for strenghth
We became one faith

As we whispered or shouted words of encouragement
We spoke one language

As we gave our blood in lines a mile long
We became one body

As we mourned together the grest loss
We became one family

As we cried tears of grief and loss
We became one soul

As we retell with pride of the sacrafice of heros
We became one people

We are One Color, One Class, One Generation, One Gender,
One faith, One Language, One Body, One Family, One Soul, One People

We are the Power of One
We are United
We are America
