Fighting for what you believe
      Keeping faith in serene peace
         Being strong as tremors try to shake me down
        Standing tall as cracks open up in the ground

           Staying loyal to the ones that love us
A          Counting on them to help in our distress
           Strengthening our hearts to fight
           Knowing always what is right

         Refusing to give up, I must still try
M      even as I wipe away the tears I cry
         being true not believing all the lies
        we are told, asking the question Why?

        Accepting who we are, not being afraid of change
E      Uniting in truth, defending the weak without shame
       Teaching hope and learning how to trust, rely
        On each other, not letting things go awry

           My feet are firmly planted, as the wind goes
R          a hurricane, hits me with each staggering blow
            Still we are strong hand in hand
           One country, forever we stand

           We will never fall
I         Answer each other’s call
           Staying up without fail
          My face is proud thru the gale

           They tried to break us, without success
C         Tried to confuse and make us guess
            We stood strong through that trial
            Back and ready though it’s been awhile

           Come and challenge our depths
A         We will show you our best
          United we were, united we stay
           Listen now; listen well to what we say

           You will never break us and make us tear
          We’re not scared, but you live in fear
            We were together even then
           Our strength will carry on again
*
in remberance of 9\11
the events that day that took too many
we will remember them
live because they can't our prayers will be plenty
