I'll tell you about it
One day but not today
As I saw it all happen
Through my own eyes
I'll tell you about
The beautiful sunrise
The perfect blue sky
The clean fresh air
I'll tell you about
The loud boom
The orange fireball
The gaping black hole
I'll tell you about
People running
Mothers crying
Birds flying away
I'll tell you about
The second plane
The second tower
The direct hit
I'll tell you about
The buildings collapsing
The huge dust clouds
The smell of burning jet fuel
I'll tell you about
Heroes who gave everything
Neighbors who lost loved ones
Our city that lost so much
I'll tell you about
My long walk home to Queens
And how your grandpa worked
To restore power downtown
I'll tell you about
How we all came together
How we hurt and healed
How we recovered and rebuilt
I'll tell you about it
As I saw it all happen
Through my own eyes
One day but not today
