So a child could understand

A child could not grasp
the priceless value
in the meaning
behind the red, white and blue


They often wondered
why
So many felt a new found need
to fly our flag so high


Where there were two towers
that filled the sun lit horizon
there is a forever memory
of what cannot be undone


Now there's just a bit of scrap
to make the tragedy come alive
When a nation stood in awe
As two planes took their final dive


Innocence left some confused,
They could not understand,
Until they saw what those men did,
Until they saw first hand.


Now they can see the ruins,
Of when those towers fell,
Now they know why we stand,
and praise the ring of the Liberty Bell.



We stand for those
who cannot stand
we praise the workers, fighters, soldiers
who lost their lives for this land
