I Am Staying
I’m Staying!

-:-
What if we did have an authority of our own?
All across America and our native lands,
Were we choose to place our hats and call home,
Nine-eleven brought us tears to my and your lands.
We all cried as smoke rose up from the towers,
This nation watched as the ash and smoke rose up,
Taking dreams away in a wink of a few hours,
It was time for our own country to wake-up.
On this sad day, we felt we stood all alone.
In one day we stood arm too arm as brothers,
Ready to fight for our nation's own birthstone.
Now we'll get to see if this be our own luster.
Because, I'm staying till the fight has been won!
