We’ve always done what we do best, Up in the friendly skies. And then one awful, fateful day We’re taken by surprise An unseen, unknown enemy Attacking us in hate And using what has made us proud To destroy what’s made us great. We watch in shock the scenes unfold We watch in disbelief We shake our heads, we wipe our eyes Unspeakable, the grief And through it all, while it unfolds We cannot help but cry - American, we cling together United, we ask "Why?" "Please, wake us from this nightmare" It all seems so unreal We force ourselves to carry on In a new world, so surreal Lean on each other for support Lend others, a helping hand American, our dedication United, we will stand We ask each other, "how they dare" We cannot understand We search for answers, search for meaning No answer is at hand Hate must not replace sorrow, Of this we’re very sure American, we bow our heads United, we’ll endure The unknown numbers, now with God As angels, by His side Must want for us to carry on To not withdraw and hide And so, it’s in their memory That we will hold so long American, we will stand tall United, we’ll be strong Dedicated to the employees of American Airlines and United Airlines. In memory of the victims of the tragedy of September 11, 2001. |
