I hear people saying we don't need this war
I say there's some things worth fighting for. . .
what about our freedom and this piece of ground
we didn't get to keep 'em by backing down.
Now they say we don't realize the mess we're getting in.
Before you start your preaching let me ask you this, my friend. . .
Have you forgotten how it felt that day -
To see your homeland under fire
and her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
and you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden. . .
Have you forgotten?
They took all the footage off my TV.
Said it's too disturbing for you and me.
It'll just breed anger, that's what the experts say.
It if was up to me, I'd show it every day.
Some say this country's just out looking for a fight
Well, after 9/11,
I'd have to say that's right. . .
Have you forgotten how it felt that day -
to see your homeland under fire
and her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
and you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden. . .
Have you forgotten?
Now I've been there with the soldiers
who've gone away to war
and you can bet that they remember
just what they're fighting for. . .
Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Some went down like heroes in that Pennsylvania field.
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon
and all the loved ones that we lost
and those left to carry on.
Don't you tell me not to worry about bin Laden.
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten how it felt that day
to see your homeland under fire
and her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell.
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden.
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
