- Written
April 15, 2003. This
is the first time I’ve really written about the events of
September 11th, 2001.
It has taken me a year and a half to process many of the
emotions of that horrible day.
I am deeply concerned by our country’s attitude and
actions in the world since that time.
Our invasion of Iraq is what finally motivated me to write about
this topic. This song is dedicated Pam Simpson, who
was simply…there.
-
- VERSE 1
- I kept the door closed – while tending my wounds
- Hidden alone in the dark - not a soul was allowed inside of this
room
- We had the promise…of something bright
- All of that was taken away when The Fire came shattering out of
the sky
-
- CHORUS 1
- Down from the skies it fell and it fell as we watched it
hypnotized
- Down to the ground I fell and I fell - bleeding, burned and
paralyzed
- “God Bless America” on that day were the words the whole
world heard….
- Yes, God blessed America on that day - Oh, God blessed
America…alright
- Well, God blessed America…
-
- VERSE 2
- In the days of darkness that followed - you stood by me
- Never pushing, never judging - only allowing me to be
- I will never forget that kindness - for as long as I’m alive
- That single little Grace of yours has helped me to survive this
- Gives me hope we might survive this
- Brings me faith we may survive this….
-
- CHORUS 2
- Well…“Welcome to our world”, they said “this happens to
us everyday”
- NO! Nothing like THIS ever happened before – not ever EVER in
this way…
- Now we have more fear to live with - now we have more hate
- And yes, we have more love - but is it much too little too
late…
- For God-Blessed America… Oh, God-Blessed America…
-
- BRIDGE
- Ignorance and fear and religion – mixed with passion and with
hate
- They make the deadliest poison – the bitter draught from which
no one wakes
- Will the dark be first to succumb or will it be the light?
- What will we be left with? Will the world be saved by or saved
from
- The Right of America…Oh, God-Blessed America…
-
- CHORUS 3
- Now, down from the skies we fall and we fall and we watch it
hypnotized
- Down on the ground or back to the wall – no one ever loves,
they will always fight
- In the darkness or the light – which one of us is blind?
- Maybe history will write – in another place and time –
- That God blessed America… - Oh, God blessed America…
- Well, God; Bless America…
