I remember 15 years ago.
I remember 9-11,
What it did to me--
What it did to us.

I remember 15 years ago.
I remember the towers falling,
What it did to me--
What it did to us.

I remember a country crumbling,
Then all at once united--unified.
I remember flags everywhere,
I remember despair, and pride.

I remember war, vindication.
I remember support, collaboration.
I remember rebuilding, foundation.
I remember one country, one nation.

But America, somewhere along the way--
We grew downtrodden.  
America, somewhere along the way--
We've forgotten.

We've forgotten that those 50 stars,
Those thirteen stripes,
Those three colors?
For one nation bleed.

We've forgotten that we are the united states,
One nation,
Under God.
Indivisible.

We grew tired.
Our patriotism expired,
Our hearts left cold,
We stand--then fold.

Still, I sing America.
The beautiful--
Land that I love--
My home.

Remember, America.
Remember when one flag meant one people,
When approval ratings soared like the wings of the unburden'd bald eagle--
Majestic, and powerful.

United,
We,
The people,
Will never be defeated.

Remember America.
Do not forget.
Look only to your name--

The United States
