Lyrics - "America Stands Tall"
words and music by Curtis Matthews
One of New York's finest,
Runs through the smoke again.
He knows he won't come out this time,
But still he runs back in.
He lifts another person,
When the building starts to fall.
We're brothers all,
America stands tall.
Chorus
America Stands Tall
United through it all
From sea to shining sea we stand
We love our freedom, love this land
The dream lives on,
Though our heavy hearts are torn.
Though buildings fall
America Stands Tall
A small voice cries out in the night,
"Is Mommy still at work"?
I don't know son, they can't find her,
but I'm still gonna look.
He wanders through the rubble,
With her picture in his hand.
He misses her,
but still he loves this land.
Chorus
A young man crouches on a plane,
and whispers in the phone.
"I just want to say I love you mom,
I won't be coming home".
"There's three of us,
who won't sit by,
while other buildings fall".
They're Heroes all,
America Stands Tall.
Chorus
