Lyrics
She Still Stands
The screams and cries form the burring towers
They were challenging our powers
Taking innocent lives, right before our eyes
These evil acts were done in hatred
But our country will never be taken
Chorus:
She still stands for liberty and justice for all
The Lady watched America take a fall
And even though she could not lift a hand
By the Grace of God, She still stands
They danced with joy among their streets
Cheering and shouting defeat
Unaware of the fact
That we will come in silence
Disposing of everything to stop the violence
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
As this tragedy gave us further lessons to learn
And Americans from heart to heart like her torch
The fire still burns
So we'll take our neighbor by the hand
And stretch across this sacred land
And form a bond that will keep America going strong
Repeat Chorus
