The Liberty Bell

September 11, 2001 (Tuesday) - For all victims of the terrorism tragedy in the United States of America.

When the terrorists tried to stop the ring
Of our Liberty Bell, they did a wrong thing
Their attack upon the towers, and the Pentagon
Unleashed a mighty power uniting the world as one

Americans have fought in many distant places
Now we are forced to fight on our own shore
Our Nation has united all of our diverse faces
Who are willing to do whatever it takes and more

The world unites because this truth they know
Civilization and freedom are at stake
The land of America casts a mighty glow
Which other nations help keep lit for all our sakes

When terrorists strike at freedom they should be aware
Peaceful people throughout the world will always unite
They unleashed a fearless foe in all of us, everywhere
Who will do what justice and freedom demands to end the fight

No forces other than God, can stop America's song we sing
I'm not afraid to say that God is on our side, freedom is His way
We can still hear the peal, as our Liberty bell continues to ring
God created freedom spreading it worldwide, He will have the final say.
