Song Description
The tragedy of 9/11 was witnessed by the world. It was a day that would exude a gamut of emotions and actions at epic proportions. It was a day that would lead to arguably one of the greatest demonstrations of resolve by a community...a state... a country.
I wrote this music and gave it to Leslie to come up with lyrics and a melody. Leslie did a great job... writing a song about that tragic day. Her lyrics, melody and vocals synced up with the mood of the music to deliver a unified message...to "get even".
Just an awesome job Les!

Lyrics
GET EVEN
Leslie Christensen (Lyrics, Vocals); Music by Frank Pietrantoni
Planes turnin'
Towers burnin'
Crowds runnin'
Get even
We hung up our flags and planted our gardens
Met on the streets; replayed the scene
Told where we were and what we remembered
Celebrate the sorrow year after year
Planes turnin'
Towers burnin'
Crowds runnin'
Get even
Nothings the same everything's heightened
Changes in life and how it's lived
Reporting suspicions eyes always open
Determined we will not live in fear
Planes turnin'
Towers burnin'
Crowds runnin'
Get even
We're still here despite the attempts
Of those not seen nor understood
Stronger and wiser; always united
Protecting the life we hold dear
Planes turnin'
Towers burnin'
Crowds runnin'
Get even
