For the terrible acts you've executed,
And the death and destruction left behind,
For the hearts and homes you've torn open,
And the atrocities against humankind,
For all the devastation you've inflicted,
And the fear you've instilled for tomorrow,
I feel my heart sink in despair,
As I shed one tear of sorrow.

Like it or not we are brothers,
Believe it or not we are friends,
I am looking to find a way together,
We can bring this fighting to an end.

Your acts have bound us together,
As you have strengthened America's resolve,
Nations of the world have united,
As all corners of the globe get involved,
You have shown us we live among heroes,
Your efforts have missed your intention,
For that I shed two tears of joy.
