Peaceful morning bliss
I travel deep into the paths of routine.
The radio said that fire rains down
Live, from the scene.

My peace runs to find worry
It was his day off, you see.
Hand in hand they come up front
to sit in the passenger's seat.

We drive and flinch to listen
to this woman saying ghastly things.
Today we lost over 3000
How can our freedom ring?

I could not understand it
Is it true? Is this for real?
The giants of the mighty apple
were gutted through the peel?

The 5 sided dragon is bleeding too?
the one that covers my back?
God please tell me what have we done?
How we can get them back?

How can this be so?
Nah man, this just isn't right.
How am I supposed to tell my child
to sleep safe and warm at night?

A rage, a hate, a jealousy?
That's what made these deeds be done?
Knowing this, I will drop my worries.
And pick up my countries gun.

Remembering the classes
The words I heard in school
Then I was too young to realize
Then I was a fool

The meaning of a piece of cloth
The reason for its stay
The words my teacher spoke to me
Become so clear today.

The red is the blood of honor.
The blue is my dreams and truth.
The white is the land to die for.
The stars are me and you.
