If I had to put into words the pain That one nation has had to share I forever will think of the day Terror rang from the air My vision forever will be filled With towers so high and tall That in moments too few to realize Before our eyes did fall As I watched in disbelief our country Torn apart at the seams With images of those so brave And hear all of the screams I’ll never again take for granted This land that is proud and free For the reality of what we share Is now so real to me My life as those near and far Has changed forever from this day But we stand united and I understand What it is that makes us this way And like the song that stays in my heart About our pride and the land of the free I will never forget those who died As I lived part of history And I will stand up even taller now For we truly are the home of the brave The flag the flies in our skies Forever in my heart will wave And I will support my brothers and sisters in arms And teach my children of our wonderful land Because though they tried to make us fall America the Beautiful forever will stand. Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind... |
