It's hard to believe its been a year since that awful day
It's painful to think of all the innocent lives that were taken away
It hurts to re-live the memories as they play inside your head
It's scary to think about the chances of you, too, being dead
It's not fair what they did to us, and we just don't understand why
It doesn't make any sense why'd they let so many die
It angers me to know they celebrate and cheer
It's frustrating knowing many live in fear
A year ago they took many lives and our twin towers
A year ago they thought this would give them all the power
A year ago they thought they could take our land
A year ago they thought they'd have America in their hands
A year ago they thought they'd not only take our lives
A year ago they thought they'd take our dignity and pride
A year ago they didn't know America is strong
A year ago they didn't know, but we proved them wrong
They tried to break us down and tear us all apart
They didn't know what they were getting into from the start
They didn't know how we Americans react
They didn't know how Americans fights back
They just weren't aware of the bond between us all
They didn't know we catch each other when we fall
They were never told no one can stop the United States
They didn't know nothing's too much for us to take
Our country is mourning and still dealing with their grief
Our people are hurting, but still feel relief
Our country was harmed, and at the same time was not
Our people now remember the few things that they forgot
Our Statue of Liberty still stands tall and proud
Our Liberty Bell still rings just as loud
Our country will never forget the tragic events of that day
Our people are still extremely proud to stand up and say...
That they're proud to be an American
and this is where they want to be
here in the home of the brave
and the land of the free
