9-11

I turn on the TV and what do I see
Death and destruction all around me
Over and over they play out the acts
That filled us with horror and asking for facts
It couldn't have happened to a force such as we
But on every network it's easy to see
They boarded our aircraft's, walked into our lives
And took all control with razors and knives
So many people so unaware
Just doing their business with hardly a care
In a blink of an eye and a 'blessed Oh Allah'
Our whole lives changed while so many had fallen
The world stood still with shock in their eyes
Shaken and frightened they looked to the skies
How could this happen, they asked in dismay

On every single channel, day after day
They replay the act and it's the price that we pay
For being a free nation, the Us of A
But we cannot allow those who don't see our ways
To dictate our lives with barbaric displays
So together we rise, and as standing as one
Each lending a hand till this business is done
With our flags waving high, the red, white and blue
We vow our deterrence to see this thing through
Our leaders shake fists and stiffen their lips
While soldiers board truck, airplanes and ships
While all of this while back at ground zero
Men dig through rubble to search for the hero
We watch from our homes while they search the remains
Knowing inside that most will never have names

Now five days have passed and we're being told
To get back to normal though they've broken the mold
Nothings the same, we wouldn't be changed
The signals seem crossed; I'm going insane
So I've got a message it's simple enough
And those that don't like it-well, that's just tuff
Since we're all united and on the same page
I'll shout out my message, I'll stand on my stage
I'll tell all the Muslims that live in our land
To speak their allegiance for how they do stand
And those that are with us can stay with no doubt
But those that are against us better get the hell out
