Addictedtoclassic Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 I wrote this September 12, 2001; you can figure out why. A tragedy has struck, throughout our land But today we rebuild, united we stand You attacked a nation, full of despair And created a nation of people who care Through all the pain in the ashes and dust Our tears keep on falling, but our hearts will not rust Or crumble like a building, for we are too strong We fight for the right, we fight against the wrong United we stand and divided we fall And through all the heartache, we've conquered them all For we built this nation, and the songs that we sing Of mind and of body, as liberty rings You may knock us down, but we get back on our feet You cannot knock us out, we know no defeat Our souls and our spirits, have now become one To stand against evil, and what it has become So now we're here together, with our heads in the air To make our way through, this time of despair We've made it through ups, we've made it through downs We've learned many lessons, in our cities and towns And now we have, an awakening to face It's time to rise up, and put fear in its place For we have been struck, and our wounds may be deep But time will heal, and faith we will keep And our scars will forever, be etched in the wood But the tree of life, will always stand for the good Though the blood of our Americans, causes us pain Our freedom and hope, will always remain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Through all the pain in the ashes and dust Our tears keep on falling, but our hearts will not rust That about sums it all up in one stanza. I remember seeing the plane crash into the first tower and we all thought it was some made-for-tv movie we were watcing that was just on in the background. Then when it was on every channel we flicked through the reality started to sink in. It was just so surrealistic and utterly unbelievable, I don't quite remember what went through my mind as I realised what was happening. For all those who lost someone and for all the American people and anyone with a heart, this will be something that is never forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
