It was a bright sunny morning
The sky was a s blue as the sea.
People on their way to work
All across the land of the free.
Then the word came down, from radio and tv.
The high cost of freedom came down to you and me.
We will fight for the way that we live
Understand that we'll never give in
Raise it up
Raise it up
Raise it up
Raise it up
Well the faded cloud of smoke revealed
The brothers and sisters we'd lost
All the nations...everywhere
Shared in the cost
Hero's that we'd never met
Lastingly etched in our mind
Sacrifice without regret
Courage we'd never find
We will fight for the way that we live
Understand that we'll never give in
Raise it up
Raise it up
Raise it up
Raise it up....yea
Lead
Raise it up
Raise it up
Raise it up
Raise it up
