WE WILL STAND TALL

A poem on the Internet by someone named Mascot

When I woke up in the morning I couldn't believe my eyes,
Someone attacked our eastern shores and smoke has filled the skies
Before the day was over we'd watch our symbols fall,
But you can't break down our pride, forever we'll stand tall.

Those who gave their lives for the people trapped inside
Knew that they might lose their lives as America watched and cried
But these tears that we have shed don't bring this to an end
If you think that we'll back down from you, you better think again

We will stand brave, we will stand strong
We will all unite together and revenge what has gone wrong
We will stand proud, we will stand free
We will never give up hope or faith from sea to shining sea
We will stand tall, we will stand tall

Through the ashes we've been breathing and the fires that have burned
For the lives that have been lost there's a lesson to be learned
You can burn our flag and curse our leader but don't attack our shores
Because when the smoke has cleared, the suffering will be yours

We have stood for strength and unity we have helped when others cried
But now the tears belong to us for the innocent who have died
Enjoy the life you live right now because your time is growing short
You've broken down the walls we've built and left us no resort.

We will stand brave, we will stand strong
We will all unite together and revenge what has gone wrong
We will stand proud, we will stand free
We will never give up hope or faith from sea to shining sea
We will stand tall, we will stand tall
