THE AMERICAN EAGLE
I saw a poster of the American Eagle
with a tear falling from his eye.
The twin towers were in the background,
with smoke hovering in the sky.
Part of the world hates us,
they want to see us die.
They use planes as bombs, send warfare,
scheme and plot and lie.
But our lady still stands with the torch in her hand
even though there's smoke in the sky
and the eagle still flies with a tear in his eye,
flies strongly over our land!
We display our flags with honor
for we're the "land of the free."
Our troops will protect us,
in the air, on the land and at sea.
So pray for our country, solidarity will stand.
Our nation has bled and cried,
but America will prevail
for God is on our side!
