Johnny Van Zant - The Day America Cried 9-11 Тексты

And now we stand as one
Our flags are raised
to remember all who have died
The Day America Cried

In the shadow of the Statue of Liberty
In the torch light of the land of the free
Lies the burning wreckage of our Fathers' dreams
And the souls who paid with their lives
A nation saw evil over September skies
By some faceless coward who must pay the price
For challenging the spirit of American pride
The Day America Cried
Why, why, why, oh why

CHORUS:
And now we stand as one
Our flags are raised to hail our heroes
And now the healing starts
We join our hearts
to remember all who have died
The Day America Cried

BRIDGE:
Now as a calm falls on the skyline
Now as the smoke reveals the sun
Still the fires burn in our memory
This date is etched forever, nine-one-one
At the alter of the chapel of liberty
We light a candle for eternity
And pray that history will never repeat
The Day America Cried
