Rebecca Larkin Poet Lyric

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.
