ONE

As the soot and dirt and ash rained down,

We became one color.

As we carried each other down the stairs

of the burning building,

We became one class.

As we lit candles of waithin and hope,

We became one generation.

As the firefighters and police officers

fought their way into the inferno,

We became one gender.

As we fell to our knees

in prayer for strength,

We became one faith,

As we whispered or shouted

words of encouragement,

We spoke one language. 

As we gave our blood

in lines a mile long.

We became one body.

As we mourned together the great loss,

We became one family.

As we cried tears of grief and loss,

We became one soul.

As we retell with pride

the sacrifice of heroes,

We became one people.

"We are"

One color

One class

One generation

One gender

One faith

One language

One body

One family

One soul

One people

We are the power of One.

We are United.

We are America.
