- A child looks up from the ferry
- to see the tower fall from the sky.
- As phone calls are made from planes
- to tell loved ones they were about to die.
- We hear news of another crash,
- the 5 sided now four.
- And brave souls give their lives to avoid anymore.
- We have just seen the start of the 21st century war.
- Our eyes have fallen upon disaster,
- Our hearts filled with pain.
- A madmans unholy venture launched
- eroneously in Gods name.
- attacked for being different
we will fight hard and long.
- for what was meant to make us weak
- will only make us strong.
- Every man woman and child pull together,
- united in our time of need.
- Knowing that when bound together
- we make a formidable reed.
- Weary rescuers mourn
- the thousands they couldn't save.
- From its post at every door
- red, white and blue colors wave.
- In support of this new 21st century war.
- We are a land comprised of all nations
- free to their religions, differences and dreams.
- Each one bringing their own strength
- to make america's light gleam.
- To all the men and women that live and die,
- to keep our counrty free.
- Our wishes of speed, safety
- and grace on thee.
- God Bless America in this 21st century war.
