September 11 - The Moment To Know

[Verse-1]
Manhattan autumn, a morning like any other
She woke up thinking she’s the luckiest mother
But she feels so helpless when he’s not around
She feels the weakness he’s always kept her from
[Verse-2]
Said mama I’m off now, I've made you pancakes
I will give you a call on every break
Bent down to kiss her and take a look through her eyes
To read the words she would never let him realize
[Bridge]
Don’t go, I need you
In every breath I breathe you
It’s yet to come
[Chorus]
The moment to know...
[Verse-3]
Staring at the tree, outside the window
She was counting the leaves, waiting for the next wind
to blow
But out of the blue, there came a strong wind
Shook 'em off of the tree, all the yellows and greens
[Verse-4]
Glasses were shaking, panic in the streets
Chilled to the bone, she was caught in a bad dream
Emergency sirens filling any gaps of silence
She could hear her words out there but no longer
soundless
[Bridge]
Don’t go, I need you
In every breath I breathe you
And here it comes…
[Chorus]
The moment to know
[verse-5]
The moment to know he was flying away
And she will never find the words to pray
The moment to know he will never come home
