Lyrics

?LEFT BEHIND?
(Dwain C. Hathaway)
© 2001 D.C. Hathaway Music

It was a day I know I won?t forget as I watched the big airliner jets.
The pictures are forever in my mind.
In disbelief I heard the sounds as the towers tumbled to the ground.
So many gone. So many left behind.

Some decided how to die. They jumped the towers as we cried.
What a price to pay for terror of this kind.
Others chose to take them down before they crashed into the ground.
Heroes to all that?s left behind.

CHORUS:

Left behind to rise above the sorrow.
Left behind, growing strong with each tomorrow.
We?re the red, white & blue. We?re the spirit of mankind.
Freedom rings for all that?s left behind.

When I look back I thank the Lord though the ashes burned the eagle soared
As the spirit of the nation was defined.
Americans are made of steel. We bend and give but never yield.
We do what must be done when left behind.
(CHORUS)

BRIDGE:

We lift our heads across the land. We wipe the tears and still we stand.
9-1-1 will never be the same.
There?s fire in the days to come. United we will overcome.
May the grace of God be with us through the flame.

(CHORUS TWICE)
