We’re Still Standing
Those twin towers Red for valor
Standing tall with pride, And the blood that fell.
Fell with grieving hearts. White for purity
Stunned, America cried. Our heroes tell.
Blue for the justice
But we’re still standing. That will be done,
Proving once more
Bin Laden tried These colors don’t run.
To crush our land,
But we stood our ground And we’re still standing.
With our flag in hand.
And we’re still standing.
