| Five strong yet average American men A terrorist force hijacked their flight The plane's course was altered, but then These brave heroes chose to fight |
Five children walking home from the mall Unaware, innocent, naïve to the core Fate entered their lives with its call: They were destined to enter galactic war |
To save others' lives they gave their own Committing the ultimate sacrifice And they won, but the world was shown That fighting a battle demands a price | |
How many souls have fought and died That our freedom could be preserved? By the hardest toils were they tried And yet their faith remained unswerved. | |
Six thousand lives were lost A war on terrorism had begun An infamous day with an infinite cost September 11, 2001. |
She knew that which had to be done She knew that she had no hope Her life was lost; the war was won. And the former heroes couldn't cope |
Remember those soldiers who have climbed The hero's path, standing straight and tall Death claimed them, but they left behind A hope that lives inside us all | |
A hope that someday, in a better world, we will finally and truly be at peace...
