9.11.01 -- September 29, 2001

on a beautiful sunny day,

you came and attacked my country.

on a beautiful sunny day,

you destroyed my home land.

on a beautiful sunny day,

you killed some of my friends.

on a beautiful sunny day,

you messed with the wrong people.



you hate me because i'm american,

you hate me because i'm white,

you hate me because i'm free,

you hate me because i'm happy.



we want you to be free,

we want you to have peace,

we want you to understand,

we want you to be with us.



you want us to suffer,

you want us to cry,

you want us to have tears in our eyes,

you want us to die.



this world is lost,

this world is suffering,

you made it no better,

you only made it worse.



you can destroy our buildings,

kill our babies,

mock us,

but you'll never kill our unity.



this country stands and unites,

for that is what we are.

a country who understands each other,

a country who wants love.





in this time of need,

we only hope for the best,

for you,

for me,

for each other.



stop the hating,

and bring on the loving,

it's the only we're going to get through this.



america will stand strong,

forever and always,

just as long as we do too.
