That September Day

Let your whispers unfold Hear your stories untold We've been angry so long, We've forgotten the words to our song So let us sing, 'Amazing Grace' And wash the dirt from our face 'Cause on that September day We gave our lives away All the bodies lay around And we fall to the ground Shouting out to God, "Where are you now?" "Where are you now?" We point our fingers in blame Feeling little shame rascism amongst the lies bigorty amongst the spies But let us come, And forgive everyone 'Cause on that September day We gave our lives away All the bodies lay around And we fall to the ground Shouting out to God, "We pledge ourselves to you!" "We pledge ourselves to you!" [bridge] "I pledge aliegence to the flag. I pledge aliegence to the flag Of the united states of America!" ooh! So let us sing, 'Amazing Grace' as the sun shines on our face! 'Cause on that September day We gave our lives away All the bodies lay around And we fall to the ground... ...On that September...day.
