Lyrics
Chorus (x2)
This song goes out
To all the families
That have lost loved ones
Due to pointless tragedies
This is an outreach
To your heart from mine
I care for you, Im there for you
In these perilous times
Verse One
I never once thought in my lifetime that i would see
America the home of the brave, land of the free
Under siege, under attack from overseas
Living in fear of planes, bombs, and fatal disease
Never even came to me, that hate could be so strong
That hate could last so long, stop us from moving on
That some people are gone, some arent coming home
Missin this christmas, leaving their families all alone
I never ever dreamed, id have to live in fear
Never thought the day would come, but now it seems it is here
So we have to step up, forget about the tears
Forget about the years, we've tried to keep peace with our peers
It's time to go to war, it's time to fight the fight
It's time to come together, as a nation we unite
Behind red, blue, and white, pull through struggle and survive
Keep in prayer for God's sake, and make sure we do what is right
Chorus (x2)
Verse 2
What about those still here, who didnt die
In the service, servin their country, ready to give their lives
I couldn't imagine the things that are going through their minds
Do they understand the risk, this could be thier end times
What about all the people neutral, not trying to fight
All of those not having a thing to do with either side
Not even truly a target just got caught up in cross fire
Just living the way they are told, not bold in their own desire
What about all of the innocent people, that have been killed
Some working in buildings, others fighting in battle fields
Others crippled, in hospitals bed ridden trying to heal
Coming to my eyes is a tear when i think of pain they feel
So real, i could touch it, Lord its got my heart rushin
Got it beatin, got it speedin, Lord its got my heart thumpin
Just thinkin what it would be like to lose a member of my family
I bet it would drive me crazy, take me to insanity
Chorus (x2)
Verse 3
Now I'm wondering if two wrongs really make a right
Not totally sure its okay to attack despite
The towers, the pentagon, the planes, the flames
The women, the children, the men, the pain
The rain, the weather, that i would rather not see
The storms of life, brought about by tragedy
And its getting to me, Lord its got me confused
Feels like either way I'll lose, dont know which path to choose
At the same time that my mind says retaliation
My heart wonders if it will help with everything we're facing
So much hatred, between nations, It seems that patience
Is running thin, but in the end i know that we will make it
