"9-11"

I woke up Tuesday morning and turned on channel five
Two towers were on fire - two eagles hit the side
I didn't know what happened, but I knew something was wrong
Two smokestacks on the skyline two hours after dawn

I saw it in slow motion like a Hollywood cartoon
But any doubt I might've had just vanished all too soon
Then one after another with an unforgotten sound
Twin soldiers disappeared - twin soldiers hit the ground

[Chorus]
You can't break my back and you can't keep me down
'Cause I believe that freedom will keep me standing tall
Despite the weight upon my shoulders and confusion on my mind
I will rise up even stronger and heal over time

Another eagle turned around and headed toward a star
It went down much too early without getting very far
Nobody saw it coming - nobody had a clue
I watched the walls collapsing on channel sixty-two

[Chorus]

A last farewell from heaven - from a rider in the sky
Who took a vote to take control or at the very least to try
The odds were stacked against them, but they were still alive
And they put the eagle in a field so that others could survive

[Chorus]


peace,
Greg Poulos
