Silence in the air.
People stop to stare.
She holds her breath.
The words will be said.

I stayed out late
last night watching the planes.
A thousand years won't change
what was done that day.

Hold on,
our time will come,
we'll find what once was known.
Hold on
for me.

We'll see the morning light
prove them wrong.
We'll leave the past behind
as they fall.
And still the knife of time
will hurt us all,
but hope lives on.

See this.
I have to see this.
I want to believe it.
I have to see this.
I want to.
