Verse 1:
^Am7AmJust an^Cother day^Em as we^Em7 went our way
^Am7 on that^F bright September^C morning;
^Am7while the^C fact'ries hummed^Em
and the ^Em7 whistles^Am7 blew,
^D7 life was at its^G7 best.^Em7
Little^C did we^Em know as we ^Em7worked be^Amlow
the^F terror that would^C reign.
^Am7 As we^FMaj blinked our eyes,
fire^C filled the skies,
and we'd^Dm never^Dm7 be the^C same.^Am7Am
Far a^Ccross the ^Em sea was an ^Em7ene^Am7my
with^F no identi^Cty.^Am7 List'ning^C to the^Em news,
we^Em7 gathered^Am7 clues as^D7 we began to^G7 trace^Em7
how they^C viewed us^Em through
the^Em7 eyes of^Am hate and^F scorned democra^Ccy.
^Am7 They can^FMaj topple buildings^C but our souls
are pro^Dmtected^Dm7 by God's^C grace.
Chorus:
^CA nation^F mourns and suffers^Em sorrow.
^C A country^F grieves ^Am7and^Em7 dries its^C tears.
^Am7 But from the^F pain, a new to^Em7morrow.^C
And^Em7 the^Dm7 pro^Emmise^Am7 of no^C fear.^Am7
Verse 2:
Its amazing how as we look back now
our losses were not greater.
With our faith intact we must face the
fact just how much we need
all the families from across the seas
to serve as mediator;
to protect all people and all shores
from the threat of future wars.
Now the truth reveals
as our nation heals
how much we need to pray.
Through adversity our liberty
will see another day.
We will carry on though lives are gone,
surviving is a must.
For it's not that we're in America, but America's in us!
Chorus
