Free To Be--1st Anniversary of 9-11

Towering into the sky so high Twins you were touching clouds Housing many continents within Until one day... Freedom so our country is Trust in God and greeting new Yet for our trust, so dearly paid Not only our trust dismantled But death of humbleness shattered A land where freedom rings All of humanities quest of desire And like genocide so destroyed Our freedom, invaded by terrorists. How many have sailed past her light And have found rest, and great life And in the sky so proudly stood Twin towers And in the blink of the moment In shock and despair Brought down Twin towers Shock waves send satellite To all of Global village. Yet strength of love for others Our Nation stood strong Like a circle unbroken We showed our theme Not for a few but for all of Humanity. Ourn Nations stands strong OUr flag at half mast All through our land From mountain to sea shore From deserts to prairies United we stand for our liberty. America the beautiful So let your lamps shine With liberty and dignity With gracious swaying flags And hand of wisdom so stretch out Among all Nations so do shine And so we stand...
