Story Behind The Song

Too many people somehow fail to understand that America was the victim, not the perpetrator. We have real enemies, who hate us for their own reasons, separate from anything we do. If we fail to understand that, and respond accordingly, then... as the song says, there'll be no more America left at all.

Lyrics

WAKE UP AMERICA (The 9-11 Song)
© 2002, Alan C. Turin

VERSES:

1. While America slept, So softly they crept, in and out of all our freedoms, planting tears we later wept

2. While we welcomed one and all, joined ?em shopping, at the mall, some of them had different aims, bring America down in flames

3. We taught ?em how to fly our planes, as our confidence they gained,
they just practiced turns and dives, rained hell down on America from the skies

CHORUS:

9-1-1, 9-1-1, the wake up call to end them all
Wake up America, rise up tall
Or there?ll be no more America left at all

VERSES:

4. ?Tis in the way they understand, all fired up ?bout God and land, they?re taught
America is Satan, that our destruction is God?s command

5. They think God?s will is what they do, glorious road to paradise too, they?re misguided believers ? believe the devil?s me and you

6. We think God?s children are all the same, but some live love, and some live blame
Some live for global conquest send America down in flames

FINAL CHORUS:
9-1-1, 9-1-1, the wake up call to end them all
Wake up America, rise up tall
Or there?ll be no more America left at all
There?ll be no more, no more, no more, no more
No more America left at all
