Fifteen years
since we were dealt the sting
I remember clearly
the black eye it did bring

Our eagles shrieked
Outrage in their cries
As mother freedom
Shouted to the sky

We fell to our knees
But only for a moment
We stood up defiantly
Our rage, we owned it

Lest not we forget
That fateful day
Why our soldiers fight
Why to God we can still pray

It is not over
Not by any means
We still have a score to settle
To have our freedom forever ring
Proud to be an American! God bless the USA!!
