There are times we must choose justice
There are times we must stand
There are times we can't forget
These are those times and we must press on
We must march toward a more perfect union
At home and at aboard leading with liberty
And forging justice around the world
We can't afford wars but we can afford peace.
We must find the tie that binds us to each other
Resist the hatred that repels us
Build up the nation we so cherished
If there is ever a time to sacrifice
If there is ever a time to give
If there is ever a time to honor
This is the time and this is our time
Wars are unacceptable and castrophic
The dead did not died in vain
They are a warning to the living
We must fight with every breath
We must live for them and mean
what we do and say for our time
is now to honor and respect the dead
let us not live in vain and let their lost
be not in vain for we are bound to remember
September 11th is not to be forgotten.
