Have You Forgotten?

I hear people sayin'. We Don't need this war.

I say there's some things worth fightin' for.

What about our freedom, and this piece of ground?

We didn't get to keep 'em by backin' down.

They say we don't realize the mess we're gettin' in

Before you start preachin' let me ask you this my friend.

Have you forgotten, how it felt that day?

To see your homeland under fire

And her people blown away

Have you forgotten, when those towers fell

We had neighbors still inside goin through a livin hell

And you say we shouldn't worry bout Bin Laden

Have you forgotten?

You took all the footage off my T.V.

Said it's too disturbin for you and me

It'll just breed anger is what the experts say

If it was up to me I'd show it everyday

Some say this country just out lookin' for a fight

Well after 9/11 man I'd have to say right.

Have you forgotten, how it felt that day?

To see your homeland under fire

And her people blown away

Have you forgotten when those towers fell

We had neighbors still inside goin' through a livin' hell

And we vow to get the ones behind Bin Laden

Have you forgotten?

I've been there with the soldiers

Who've gone away to war

you can bet they remember just what they're fightin' for

Have you forgotten

All the people killed

Yes some went down like heroes

In that Pennsylvania field

Have you forgotten

About our Pentagon

All the loved ones that we lost

And those left to carry on

Don't you tell me not to worry 'bout Bin Laden

 

Have you forgotten?

 

Have you forgotten?

 

Have you forgotten?!

This is my tribute to all the brave firefighters and policemen who kept order in a panicked city, rescued people from the rubble a midst falling debris, and put out fires that could have threatened more than just the Two Towers. I cleary remember September 11, 2011. I was 4 years old, we did not have a TV at the time, but our neighbor called us up and told us that a plane had just crashed into one of the towers. We jogged down the road to our neighbors house, and we all sat in a stunned awe as we saw the second plane crash into the other tower. I remember very distinctly seeing the siding of the towers come rumbling off, one floor collasping after another, people jumping out of windows to escape the fire only to smash onto the pavement below.

 

I will never forget that day.
