Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song the day after 9-11, as a way to offer what little I could to all the wonderful people who needed help during 9-11, and the brave firemen and servicemen who fought so hard to save lives.
Song Description
This is a song I wrote to uplift all of those who were hurt during nine eleven, and to thank those who helped save so many lives. It is a song of hope during a very dark time.

Lyrics
A giant cloud of smoke across a city, a giant broken heart across the nation- We won't forget the way this feels, though we get back on our feet, no hesitation- There's an enemy that tries to take us down, but our Spirits rise above these ashes on the ground... chorus: 'cause We're Still America, still brave, still free, and we will never let you take away our Liberty, 'cause there's a place inside each one of us- a place you cannot harm, a place you cannot touch, And we will stand and you will see that We Our Still America. verse2: Fireballs that bit September's sun, and forced upon it's face a dark disguise, We won't forget the ones who dies, and all of those who gave their lives, And the enemy somehow deceived us, but now we come together, and you better believe us (to chorus)
Bridge: Oh Say Can You See, Our light still shines, Through the darkness of night, We won't give up the fight! (to chorus).
