Hunting through the rubble, Going through the trash, Searching for the hope Our nation sometimes lacks. So many untold stories Lie beofore us in what's left. They did more than murder, They left a nation bereft. You can see it on the faces Of those who gather near Questions asking why Are all we seem to hear. And still our search continues Through the day and night, They asked for war and America's prepared to fight. Then there is a yell From somewhere underneath, But this is not of terror, It is one of sheer relief. And through the rubble Of where a symbol did stand Emerges one of pride Across this mighty land. We will fly it high forevermore And march on through the day. Those who are responsible Will be forced to pay. These colors stand for so much: Freedom, justice, and equality This symbol will endure this test And fligh high for eternity. www.enterthemuse.com [This message has been edited by Angel (04-10-2003 02:07 PM).] |
