(Written by Robin Lerner, Steve DuBerry, and Hillary Lindsey)
Have we learned our lesson
or will we do it all again
Will we keep on second guessing
What’s as plain as anything
I know they said, “We had it coming”
But I’ve seen some things
I never thought I’d see
In my life
All the little reasons that get me down
They mean nothing
I fear the good times may be gone
Forever
(Chorus)
Will we cry, will we laugh
Will this moment be our last
Will we hate, will we fight
Seek the truth or live a lie
Or will we just learn
Cause we’ve known it all along
Will we keep on re-living September
Or will we learn
September the 11th I did what I’ve always done
Took the subway to Manhattan
Rode the train like everyone
Oh, I saw the skies filled with sunlight
And the city that had given me my wings
Come tumblin’ down
All around me the jigsaw pieces, they fell
Broken diamonds
You may be gone but you are not forgotten
Will we laugh, will we cry
Just give up or go down fighting
Will we hate or refuse
Will we love, what will we choose
Oh, when will we learn
Cause we’ve known it all along
Will we keep on re-living September
Or will we learn
Will we give up in return
Will we hate or refuse
Will we love, what will we choose
Oh, when will we learn
Have we known it all along
Will we keep on re-living September
Or will we learn…
