Sweet Liberty

Remember 9/11

America, America, God shed His grace on thee.
And crown thy good with brotherhood and our Sweet Liberty.

Remember 9/11 and the heartbreak it has caused,
we’ll always be remembering those whose lives were lost.
We were shaken and forsaken on that fateful day,
united by uncertainty, we all began to pray.

“Lord guide us in our darkest hour, let us appreciate,
the liberty and equality that make our country great.
Help us to remember that our freedom’s never free,
lives are lost to pay the cost of our Sweet Liberty.”

America, America, God shed his grace on thee.
And crown thy good with brotherhood and our Sweet Liberty.

To those whose lives were taken by this senseless tragedy,
you’ll always be an honored part of our country’s history.
You’ll live on in our memories, for we meant what we said,
we will remember 9/11 and the freedom we defend.

America, America, God shed His grace on thee.
And crown thy good with brotherhood and our Sweet Liberty.
