As Heroes Stood

Written June, 2004

Mine eyes have seen the horror of the towers falling down.
I have stood before the Pentagon and watched the fire’s crown.
I’ve felt the jets fly over me to fight the coming foe
As heroes stood their ground.

Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
As heroes stood their ground.

The blood of martyred children calls for peace and freedom’s reign.
The tears we shed for those lost loves will never end our pain.
We’ll always vie for liberty to honor all their names
As we go marching on.

When heroes stand united there will be a victory.
Amid the morning glories honor stands forth mightily.
The martyrs crowned and heroes proved will lead our joyful throng
As we go marching on.

There are no terrors strong enough to end Democracy.
Deep within our bosom grows a yearning to be free.
Beyond the bonds of death and hell we’ll raise our banner high
As we go marching on.

Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
As we go marching on.
