| Heaven Must Have Needed Angels |  |
| Heaven must have needed Angels
For so many to have died
Too many went to Heaven
In the blinking of an eye
Flying through the sky that day
When the Heavens opened wide
Heaven must have needed Angels
To have made this Nation Cry
What do we tell the children
It was not a bomb
That blew up the world Trade Center
And crashed into the Pentagon
We see it on the news
Cell phones ringing, hopeful news
Will Daddy call us one more time
And ask how was your day
What do we tell the children
Daddy's flight went oh so wrong
He called to say he loves us
Then in a moment, he was gone
And along with the Nation
We watched the towers fall
Daddy called to say he loved us
That's what matters after all
Was it a mistake
Did the pilot lose his way
We have to tell our children
They had hit where they had aimed
Men we do not know who hated US soil
Took people who meant more to us
Than the buildings that they blew
They destroyed a landmark
When they rocked our Nation's core
But to take away our loved ones
Was to have taken so much more | By Rebecca Burns
