Tuesday morning, I'm off to work
Hustling to the car still buttoning my shirt
Like every other day
I turn on my radio..
Something 'bout planes crashing,
Buildings burning
The minutes passing by,
We're still learning
What's goin' on...
Nobody knows..
It's the day the lights went out
The day the lights went on
The day our hearts were broken
And our spirit strong..
I'll always remember
The way we came together..
Mother and father,
Sister and brother,
Total strangers
Helping each other
The day the world grew bigger
I'll always remember...
Same time each year
It comes back on the news
These images and tragedies
Giving me the blues
Look at my life
Who I am and how I feel
I want to be a better mother,
Better person,
Better friend
To those who are hurtin'
Make sure the moments
In my life -are real
It's the day the lights went out
The day the lights went on
The day our hearts were broken
And our spirit strong..
I always will remember...
The way we came together
Mother and father,
Sister and brother,
Total strangers
Helping each other
The day the world grew bigger
I'll always remember
It's the day the lights went out,
The day the lights came on
The day we got it right,
The day we got it wrong
It's the day that we were weak
And the day that we were strong
It's the day we found a better way -to get along?
I always will remember
The way we came together
Mother and father,
Sister and brother,
Total strangers
Helping each other
The day the world grew bigger
I'll always remember...
Hustling to the car still buttoning my shirt
Like every other day
I turn on my radio..
Something 'bout planes crashing,
Buildings burning
The minutes passing by,
We're still learning
What's goin' on...
Nobody knows..
It's the day the lights went out
The day the lights went on
The day our hearts were broken
And our spirit strong..
I'll always remember
The way we came together..
Mother and father,
Sister and brother,
Total strangers
Helping each other
The day the world grew bigger
I'll always remember...
Same time each year
It comes back on the news
These images and tragedies
Giving me the blues
Look at my life
Who I am and how I feel
I want to be a better mother,

To those who are hurtin'
Make sure the moments
In my life -are real
It's the day the lights went out
The day the lights went on
The day our hearts were broken
And our spirit strong..

The way we came together
Mother and father,
Sister and brother,
Total strangers
Helping each other
The day the world grew bigger
I'll always remember...
