Words and Music by Jo Ann Biviano

Tuesday morning, I'm off to work
Hustling to the car still buttoning my shirt
Like every other day, turn on the radio

Something 'bout planes crashing, buildings burning
The minutes passing by, we're still learning
What's goin on...nobody knows

It's the day the lights went out, the day the lights went on
The day our hearts were broken and our spirit strong

CHORUS
I'll always remember
The way we came together
Mother and father, sister and brother
Total strangers helping each other
The day the world grew bigger
I'll always remember

Same time each year, it comes back on the news
These images and tragedies giving me the blues
Look at my life, who I am and how I feel

I want to be a better mother, better person
Better friend to those who are hurtin
Make sure the moments in my life are real

It's the day the lights went out, the day the lights went on
The day our hearts were broken and our spirit strong

CHORUS
I'll always remember
The way we came together
Mother and father, sister and brother
Total strangers helping each other
The day the world grew bigger
I'll always remember

It's the day the lights went out, the day the lights went on
The day we got it right, the day we got it wrong
It's the day that we were weak, and the day that we were strong
It's the day we found a better way to get along?

CHORUS
I'll always remember
The way we came together
Mother and father, sister and brother
Total strangers helping each other
The day the world grew bigger
I'll always remember
