Today I saw hatred
As it unfolded right before my eyes The evil in this world Rained down from the skies. There was death and destruction Everywhere that I'd look It was an assault on America's freedom And America's innocence is what It took. No longer will We be complacent Accepting with dignity as each insult is thrown From this day forward America's resolve will be known We will not bow to terrorists Or those who will attempt to destroy Our way of life From this moment forward Our anger will cut just like a knife. There are those in this world Who believe America has been cowed But all I have to say If our backs are bent, it's only because our heads are bowed. We are observing a moment of silence Of self reflective prayer But, believe that when we're done All our wrath will come to bear We have not been shattered Nor have we been knocked down We have only staggered But we will stand our ground. So, to those of you who think That your hatred will succeed I stand here and say to you Your hatred will not be allowed to breed. We will fight back We will make a stand Your act of cowardice today Is the "line drawn in the sand" No longer will you be allowed To cause pain without recrimination You have awoke the "Slumbering Giant" And aroused the anger of a Nation So enjoy your little triumph Be confident in your joyous display Because soon you will reap the Whirlwind Known as the U.S.A.
