THE TWIN TOWERS


They say that lightning never strikes twice But I have seen it with my own eyes It struck two great twin towers


That climbed into New York skies One minute they were up there

' Every new b'abe that has been horn • Out of love was surely planted ,


Let us nurture them with love alone And not feed them evil for their diet


And when each brand new person Comes to join us on our planet


Because evil will not have its way .


And never has done in the past Love will triumph in the end And will last and last and last.
