Verse 1

We must organize

come together

fortified

shore to shore

and rise

the things that we have seen

may be sore to the eyes

planes tore through the skies

Chorus

Our way of life on hold

we never fold

we rise

poor innocent lives

friends, husbands, and wives

what do we say to our children

when we look into their eyes

Verse 2

One moment in time

forever embedded in our minds

through heartache and pain

we will find

an unrelenting pride

that we will not go down without a fight

Chorus

Our way of life on hold

we never fold

we rise

poor innocent lives

friends, husbands, and wives

what do we say to our children when a mother or father dies

(Guitar Solo)

(Chorus)
