And now we stand as one Our flags are raised to remember all who have died The Day America Cried
In the shadow of the Statue of Liberty In the torch light of the land of the free Lies the burning wreckage of our Fathers' dreams And the souls who paid with their lives A nation saw evil over September skies By some faceless coward who must pay the price For challenging the spirit of American pride The Day America Cried Why, why, why, oh why
CHORUS: And now we stand as one Our flags are raised to hail our heroes And now the healing starts We join our hearts to remember all who have died The Day America Cried
BRIDGE: Now as a calm falls on the skyline Now as the smoke reveals the sun Still the fires burn in our memory This date is etched forever, nine-one-one At the alter of the chapel of liberty We light a candle for eternity And pray that history will never repeat The Day America Cried
