Once a proud land of freedom and might.
America used to fly her flag
Liberty bought with the blood of those who fought
in the trenches of those foreign lands
far away from the ones they loved
And here throughout our land we all upheld our stand
and we flew the Star Spangled Banner high
and sang a song so grand.
We had our ups and downs but our faith in God was sound
But as the years went by some lost their sight
of what gave us such hope.
Bright sunny morning in early September
a nation woke to a horrifying sight
We watched in living color
as the planes tore through the buildings
and destroyed thousands of innocent just trying to get by
A gloominess held on and their loved ones prayed and wept
and a slogan told us we must not forget
But now some take to their knees and refuse to pay respect
to the land that have them the right to scorn
and ridicule their home
So many groups with hearts so grim
seek to destroy her from within
So much contempt for the Red, White & Blue
Their words make my heart break
They say she symbolizes hate.
