God Bless America!

Through the haze, 

the fire, 

the terror and fear. 

Through the sounds of sirens, 

screams and tears

In a moment 

our world was changed, 

as time stood still 

and innocent ones 

lost their lives. 

Firemen, police and 

civilians alike, 

stood in horror as the 

unthinkable happened. 

We cried, 

we worried, 

we felt the fear.

In our homes, 

which no longer seemed 

safe and cozy

in the wake of 9/11, 

we watched and 

we cried. 

Terrorist tried 

to shake our spirit, 

God gave us peace in the storm. 

Terrorists tried to 

devalue our way of life, 

our freedom and all 

that our country stands for. 

God blessed our land

with grace and dignity, 

with courage and strength. 

In that moment, 

we stood united, as a country

willing to fight

for freedom, 

for safety, 

for all  that our country stands for. 

We fight with honor, 

with strength 

and with a love for 

America

that only comes with 

the pride we feel

for the country 

we all love. 

Shake us, terrorize us, 

try to beat out our spirit, 

with a God who loves us

a country we love, 

freedoms we enjoy, 

we will fight back, 

stronger because we stand united

one nation, 

under God!
