This song would have three parts, like any good story. The music for this, in my imagination, would be like Paranoid Android by Radiohead. Something rocking and pop and sweeping.
Bookends

Tuesday morning on a summer day
the sun was clear as can be
up in the sky we saw a jet liner
then a second one darkened the sky
we all ran
we all ran
we all ran
we thought we were going to die
it was a moment in time
when everything stopped
and we all wondered why
the towers fell
but I’m not going to dwell
the decade flew by
we all thought we were going to die
we all thought we were going to die
we all thought we were going to die
the fire continued to burn
when will we ever learn
when will we ever learn
when will we ever learn
history continued apace
we all did things we regret
things we will never forget
the earth grew warmer
but we ignored nature’s warnings
Hurricane Irma made her way
to the shore with a roar
it grew in power
with every hour
it hit the coast
making many a ghost
it was a warm summer day
and we remembered that Tuesday
before with dismay
history roared past us
we had to deal with the gore
bookends
bookends
bookends
bookends
