Memorial

That one day, those hours of fear

The terrified running, the noises of change

I hear people sayin', we don't need this war
But I say there are some things worth fightin' for
What about our freedom, and this piece of ground
We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down.

Smoke filling the air, debris falling like rain

Soot and ash covered people, staring in frozen shock

The air filled with cries, as those two monuments fell

And the horror, when the they saw they weren't the only ones

Some say this country's just out looking for a fight.

Well, after 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right


That day is burned and seared into the hearts of millions

That day is a horrible wound, but the thing with wounds is, they eventually heal

Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Yeah, some went down like heroes in that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
All the loved ones that we lost and those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry about Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

Some say we shouldn’t be fighting in this war

But I say, talk to a survivor, or to ones left to bury their loved ones.

Talk to the heroes and the ones who go away to war.

And you tell me if we shouldn’t fight for what’s ours.
To fight for our freedom, and fight for our liberty.

Have you forgotten, how it felt that day? To see your homeland under fire,
And her people blown away.  Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going through a living @#!*% ,
Have you forgotten?

I've been there with the soldiers, who’ve gone away to war
And you can bet that they remember, Just what they're fighting for


[pardon my leaving the ' @#!*% ' in there. in my personal opinion @#!*% isn't a bad word, unless it is used in a derogatory way. In this instance, I kept it there because how else could you describe what those people went through?]
