lyrics

America More Beautiful

September 11th, 9 A.M.
America was born again
We became brand new
More beautiful right then
We found strength in strangers
Thanked God for all our friends
Held on to our loved ones
Proud Americans

They closed down all the airports today
We watched the last plane in San Jose
We couldn’t close our eyes
We just stared into the sky
And we couldn't look away
And as the flames burned through the night
All we could do was hold our heads up high
And when the morning light broke through
That old Red, white and blue still waved
America the beautiful, you’re more beautiful today

In the Pennsylvania Sky
Heroes chose to fight and die
With the Pentagon in flames
Our spirit still remained alive
And in the rubble and the dust
Three firemen raised a flag for all of us
To show the world we would go on
Proud Americans

They closed down all the airports today
We watched the last plane in San Jose
We couldn’t close our eyes
We just stared into the sky
Could not look away
And as the flames burned through the night
All we could do was hold our heads up high
And when the morning light broke through
That old Red, white and blue still waved
America the beautiful, you’re more beautiful today

They opened all the airports today
