America's Resolve

America's Resolve




How could they think that we could be destroyed


This nation brought together 's stronger now


We grieve for those now gone but we are buoyed


To move ahead, to them we've made this vow




To search for evil persons far away


Who sought to maim and kill democracy


And from this path we know we must not stray


To keep our country safe for you and me




We feel great pain and anger fills our heart


But we must keep our minds now clear and free


To follow courses that will be a part


Of plans to carry out across the sea




From ashes and destruction now widespread


We all resolve together we will stand


Against all forces which are evil led


We wish to live in peace in this great land.
