Lyrics
911/Piece of Heaven (Vocal)
Back on 911 I saw a piece of heaven Through the rubble and through the smoke People were dying others were trying To give those trapped inside some hope Back on 911 I saw a piece of heaven While the world was standing still Even though afraid the sacrifice they made Crashing on that Pennsylvania hill I saw faith witnessed humanity I saw the best that every man could be My country tis of thee Back on 911, I saw a piece of heaven People kneeling down to pray Helping their brothers, holding each other God blessed the good old USA I saw angels, I saw heroes born I saw bodies from the rubble torn People jumping into the sky I heard children cry I saw faith witnessed humanity I saw the best that every man could be My country tis of thee
