Two towers were on fire-two eagles hit the side
I didn't know what happened,but I knew something was wrong
Two smokestacks on the skyline two hours after dawn
I saw it in slow motion like a Hollywood cartoon
But any doubt I might've had just vanished all too soon
Then one after another wtih an unforgotten sound
Twin soldiers disappeared-twin soldiers hit the ground
(Chorus)
You can't break my back and you can't keep me down
'Cause I believe that freedom will keep me standing tall
Despite the weight upon my shoulders and confusion on my mind
I will rise up even stronger and heal over time
Another eagle turned around and headed toward a star
It went down much too early without getting very far
Nobody saw it coming-nobody had a clue
I watch the walls collapsing on channel sixty-two
(Chorus)
A last farewell from heaven-from a rider in the sky
Who took a vote to take control or at the very least to try
Thie odds were stacked against them, but they were still alive
And they put the eagle in a field so that others could survive
(Chorus)
