Verse 1:
Just another day as we went our way
on that bright September morning;
while the fact'ries hummed and the whistles blew,
life was at its best.Little did we know as we
worked below the terror that would reign.
As we blinked our eyes, fire filled the skies, and we'd
never be the same.
Far across the sea was an enemy
with no identity. List'ning to the news,
we gathered clues as we began to trace
how they viewed us through the eyes of hate
and scorned democracy. They can topple buildings
but our souls are protected by God's grace.
Chorus:
A nation mourns and suffers sorrow. A country grieves
and dries its tears. But from the pain, a new tomorrow.
And the promise of no fear.
Verse 2:
Its amazing how as we look back now
our losses were not greater. With our faith intact
we must face the fact just how much we need
all the families from across the seas to serve as mediator;
to protect all people and all shores
from the threat of future wars.
Now the truth reveals as our nation heals
how much we need to pray.
Through adversity our liberty will see another day.
We will carry on though lives are gone,
surviving is a must.
For it's not that we're in America, but America's in us!
Chorus
