Lyrics

Oh, Say

They kissed at the station ? and said their goodbye?s
One whole generation ? sent to defend our lives.
The fighting grew heavy ? the air thick with fear
The orders came down ? we need one brave volunteer
Anxiety gripped her ? as the black sedan slowed
One somber salute and one life changing note
(Chorus)
Oh say, can you see ? if his name is in this letter for me
This folded flag and 21 blasts won?t erase him from my memory
Oh say, oh say can you see

I look just like him - that?s what I?ve been told
When he as missing in action I was just 2 years old
Today?s the big dedication to honor the lost
All the names are engraved in stone, but have we counted the cost
(Chorus)
Oh say, can you see the name my daddy chose to share with me
I can?t seem to find it here because these tears just make it so hard to see
Oh say, oh say can you see
(Bridge)
Oh say oh say does that banner wave
For all who?ve helped to keep us free
The price of freedom is high sometimes
But it?s bought us such a legacy

He?d just completed his night shift ? when the first tower was struck
He kissed his wife and his baby and jumped in his truck
Through the smoke and confusion he led them to the ground floor
But, the last time they saw him he went back in for more
Chorus
Oh say can you see if the man in this picture?s been seen
My heart sank as I watched those towers
?Cause I knew just where a hero a hero would be
It?s so surreal the way I feel
I need to wake up from this terrible dream
Oh say, oh say can you see
