one morning changed the lives of 280 million people
one moment ended the lives of 44
10:03 on a Tuesday morning in the fall of an American dream a man is doing what he knows is right on flight 93
four righteous men gave their all on that tragic morning one was deemed a lesser hero because of who he chose to love
Loved his mom and he loved his dad loved his home and he loved his man but on that ****** Tuesday morning he died an American
he bled red, white and blue he died for his country his courage stained the grass and yet his bravery was not as valuable as the other three heroes because of whom he chose to spend his life with
Even though he could not marry Or teach your children in our schools Because who he wants to love Is breaking your God's rules
40 innocent american's crashed into pennsylvanian soil that morning 4 monsters crashed landed straight to hell 4 men saved hundreds of lives that day four men not three
He stood up on a Tuesday Morning In the terror he was brave And he made his choice and without a doubt A hundred lives he must have saved
he was denied marriage to the man he loved he was denied by your god he was denied his rights but he never denied his country protection
And the things you might take for granted Your inalienable rights Some might choose to deny him Even though he gave his life
the land of the free and home of the brave became the land of silence and home of tragedy that morning and the dismissal of a man's valor was a part of that tragedy
Can you live with yourself in the land of the free And make him less of a hero than the other three Well it might begin to change ya In a field in Pennsylvania
bravery is the same color on everybody's hands; it's not black nor white; gay nor straight; man nor woman; courage is in the blood of every american
Stand up America Hear the bell now as it tolls Wake up America It's Tuesday Morning Let's roll
september 11th, 2001 was a day of unimaginable cruelty
our land was desecrated and our safety was shattered and our families were broken
never forget
