Bonny Twin Towers
ttto: Bonny Portmore
lyrics (c) Arlene "Callie" Hills, Sept 2001

Oh bonny twin towers, I am sorry to see
Such a mournful destruction of your proud majesty
For you stood on our shores for many's the long day
Til in a morning fraught with terror, you were blotted away.

Oh bonny twin towers, dust clouds rise from where you stood
and the search for life continues 'midst the shattered glass and wood
Overhead the skies are silent, but for guardsmen at their task
And the loss of lives and futures is too staggering to grasp.

All the people in the country, they bitterly weep
Keeping vigil for the victims, seeking answers, losing sleep
For in two of our great cities, nodes of power are cut down
And the towers of the harbor are all down to the ground.

Oh bonny twin towers, dust clouds rise from where you stood
and the search for life continues 'midst the shattered glass and wood
Now our nation mourns in silence, soon the world shall hear the sound
As we rise in righteous fury to grind terror into the ground.
