Proud Americans (Hero's of 9-E-L-E-V-E-N)
(Bb capo/Key of - G) Re-write 22 August 2002.
Intro; Proud Americans
(Spoken)
On 9-11-2001 our great nation was under attack.
I ll never forget when our President visited ground zero.
And someone yelled out loud!
WE CAN T HEAR YOU?
(President Bush replied!)
I CAN HEAR YOU, THE WHOLE WORLD HEARS YOU.
THE PEOPLE WHO KNOCKED DOWN THESE
BUILDINGS WILL HEAR FROM ALL OF US REAL SOON.
Well that really touched my Heart and brought tears to my eyes, just like the song you are about to hear.
Where do we start, picking up all the pieces?
Many hopes and dreams, scattered on the ground.
Who s gonna give us, just one good reason?
For innocence lost, and devastations found!
(Pre-Chorus 1)
There are those who say, we had it coming.
They say, its Gods command.
They call us the Satan, while they do evil.
Sadly they hate! What they don t understand.
How do we explain, to all the children!
That mommy or daddy will never come home.
And what do we say, to all our loved ones.
Our friends and neighbors, we ve known for so long.
(Pre-Chorus 2)
Where do we turn? To bring us together!
Where can we, find common ground?
So many questions, we need the answers.
Who s going to turn, this crazy world all around?
(Hook-Gang Vocals)
It s down to you, it s down to me.
It s up to us now, you and me.
We can t give up No! we won t give in.
We re going to make a stand, because were proud Americans.
(BRIDGE)
Thousands were saved, and sacrifices made!
By the hero s! Of 9-E-L-E-V-E-N!
They stopped that fourth plane, climbed the towers in flames.
And they fell! Fell straight into, heaven.
Out-tro:
I d like to quote a NYC Fireman!
Osama bin Laden!
(YOU CAN KISS MY ROYAL IRISH ASS.)
RUDY! WE LOVE YOU.
