WHAT DO HEROES DO?

By: Karla Dorman

WHAT DO HEROES DO?
THROUGH DISASTERS LARGE AND SMALL,
WHETHER REAL OR FALSE ALARM,
THEY WILL ANSWER EVERY CALL,
THEY STRIVE TO KEEP US FROM HARM...
THAT'S WHAT HEROES DO,
THAT'S WHAT HEROES DO.

WHAT DO HEROES DO?
NO MATTER THE TIME OF DAY,
NO MATTER THE TIME OF NIGHT,
OVERWORKED AND UNDERPAID,
THEY WILL NOT GIVE UP THE FIGHT...
THAT'S WHAT HEROES DO,
THAT'S WHAT HEROES DO.

WHAT DO HEROES DO?
POLICE PROTECT US FROM CRIME,
FIREMEN PUT OUT THE FLAMES,
MEDICS TRY TO BUY MORE TIME,
OUR SAFETY THEY WILL ATTAIN...
THAT'S WHAT HEROES DO,
THAT'S WHAT HEROES DO.

WHAT DO HEROES DO?
AT TIMES THEY FACE GREAT DANGER,
AT TIMES RISKING THEIR LIVES,
HELPING LOVED ONES AND STRANGERS,
WORK TO ENSURE THEY SURVIVE...
THAT'S WHAT HEROES DO,
THAT'S WHAT HEROES DO.

WHAT DO HEROES DO?
THEY ENTERED FALLING TOWERS...
AND HEROISM WAS SHOWN...
THEY TRIED TO THWART DEATH'S POWERS...
THEY LOST MANY OF THEIR OWN...
THAT'S WHAT HEROES DO,
THAT'S WHAT HEROES DO.

THAT'S WHAT HEROES DO,
THAT'S WHAT HEROES DO.

TWIN TOWERS, why did you go?
TWIN TOWERS, we miss you so...
TWIN TOWERS, forever in our hearts,
TWIN TOWERS, you need a brand new start.

TWIN TOWERS, you once stood tall,
TWIN TOWERS, you guarded all...
TWIN TOWERS, rising to the heights,
TWIN TOWERS, buildings of strength and might.

TWIN TOWERS, struck by terror,
TWIN TOWERS, victims of horror...
TWIN TOWERS, were built to endure,
TWIN TOWERS, at one time were secure.

TWIN TOWERS, gone in a blaze,
TWIN TOWERS, now misty haze...
TWIN TOWERS, you fell to the land,
TWIN TOWERS, we'll NEVER understand.

TWIN TOWERS, you were our home,
TWIN TOWERS, now we're alone...
TWIN TOWERS, you're gone from our skies,
TWIN TOWERS, we're scared and horrified.

TWIN TOWERS, oh, TWIN TOWERS,
Felled by terroristic powers...
TWIN TOWERS, oh, TWIN TOWERS,
Our tears are falling like showers.....

TWIN TOWERS, we'll remember,
TWIN TOWERS, fell in September...
TWIN TOWERS, we'll remember the cost,
TWIN TOWERS, we'll rebuild what was lost.

TWIN TOWERS, why did you go?
TWIN TOWERS, we miss you so.....

(We love you...we miss you...we pray they
rebuild...and we'll ALWAYS remember.)
