6:52 daylight comes shining through the window

Like clockwork, naw it ain’t failed me yet

Five after eight, get ready for the day and go

Same ole routine, nothing new to see

I just clocked in

When I turned to the TV

The newsman said it was

8:46 the first one hit

Sky went from blue to black real quick

Panicked folks didn’t know what was going on until the second one

Came flying in at 9:03, then the Pentagon and Flight 93

A day that lives in infamy

And as the smoke fell with that September sunset

We never forget

Now, we stand together every year

Flags high above the hugs and tears

Painted signs on chain-link fences

Hand in hand here ever since

8:46 the first one hit

Sky went from blue to black real quick

Panicked folks didn’t know what was going on until the second one

Came flying in at 9:03, then the Pentagon and Flight 93

A day that lives in infamy

And as the smoke fell with that September sunset

We never forget

To all the brave first through the doors

And those that paid the price of war

It’s tough to think how long it’s been

All these years remembering

8:46 the first one hit

Sky went from blue to black real quick

Panicked folks didn’t know what was going on until the second one

Came flying in at 9:03, then the Pentagon and Flight 93

A day that lives in infamy

And as the smoke fell with that September sunset

We never forget
