Lyrics
(TAPS plays)"WE MUST ALSO NEVER FORGET, THE MOST VIVID EVENTS OF RECENT HISTORY. ON SEPTEMBER THE 11TH, 2001, AMERICA FELT ITS VULNERABILITY. EVEN TO THREATS THAT GATHER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE EARTH. WE RESOLVE THEN, AND WE ARE RESOLVED TODAY TO CONFRONT EVERY THREAT, FROM ANY SOURCE, THAT COULD BRING SUDDEN TERROR, AND SUFFERING TO AMERICA."***VeRsE OnE***
9/11 '01 flight 11 hits the world trade/
8:45, the world will never be the same/
they departed from Boston headin to LA/
Life is so precious, cherish everyday/
Flight 1-7-5 collides five miutes after 9 (after 9)/
I see the tears in their eyes/
i was watchin from school but i was there in my heart/
i was praying for the families, i know its hard/
this was just the start of pain from the war to come/
sent 20,000 troops with only food and their guns/
they left their loved ones behind so they can fight for a cause/
you gotta stay strong come home to these open arms/
i thank god for the strength that he put in our soldiers/
i thank god for the strength that he put in our soldiers/
***21 gun salute***
$$$verse 2: for my stepdad in iraq now$$$
now its time for you to leave i can see the plane/
its gettin harder to breathe, you wipe the tears on my face/
i cant wait til your back in a year or two/
spirit body and mind, ill be here for you/
ill be steppin in to help my mother and my little brothers, i know youre there cuz u love us/
give ur grand daughter a kiss, she's gettin so big/
i cant wait til u can see her again/
and hold her in your arms, keep yourself safe/
cuz for her, you are makin this world a better place/
tell your troops "thank you" for protecting our kids/
and to all the fallen soldiers "we will never forget"/
it takes courage and heart to make this country the best/
i thank everybody listed and all of our vets/
all of you were strong when the people were hopeless/
i thank god for the strength that he put in our soldiers/
***actual phone call from Flight 93 (crashed in PA, USA): "okay well i just wanted to tell you I LOVE YOU, we're having a little problem on the plane. Um, im totally fine....um, i just love you more than anything i just want you to know that, and...Im comfortable and im okay....for now. "cries"***
%%%verse 3%%%
to the army and navy air force and marines/
i appreciate every breath you breathe/
every single time that you blink/
you the ones put ya lives on the line to keep us free/
dont you listen to the critics, they aintlivin ya life/
youre a father mother son daughter husband or wife/
without you in this world we couldnt sleep at night/
we take for granted all security we have in our life/
pray for our family to come back with no harm/
its only temporary, it feels so long/
youll be gone for another year../
ill shed a tear everyday til the day that youre here/
i thank god for the strength that he put in our soldiers/
i thank god for the strength that he put in our soldiers....thank you/
***actual dispatcher: "United 93 do you still hear cleveland?"....narrator: at 10:03, flight 93 crashes in to an empty field, inverted and flying at 580 mph. It is only 15 minutes flying time, from Washington DC."...interview with a victims husband: "they took the ultimate step in fighting the first war against terrorism, and they, they won.".....Bush: "we did not ask for this present challenge, but we accept it. Like other generations of Americans we will meet the responsibility of defending human liberty against violence and aggression. By our resolve we will give strength to others, by our courage we will give hope to others. And by our actions, we will secure the peace and lead the world to a better day. May God Bless AMERICA."
