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
