Lyrics
We Will Remember You
(The Best Part of Us All)
copyright 2001 Robyn Adams/Arno Kimsey
You answered the call without thinking of yourself at all
You were brave and true and strong
You fought through the smoke and dust
And brought out the best in us
You carried our hope along
And we will remember you
That day in September you
Showed the world the best part of us all
You left behind a trail of tears
And memories of all those years
With the ones who loved you most
And those of us who never knew you
Now embrace the thought of you
You?re forever etched in our souls
And we will remember you
That day in September you
Showed the world the best part of us all
Now we must go on and we will be strong
Together and forever we?ll stand
We?ll rise above adversity
we?ll get through this hand in hand
And we will remember you
That day in September you
Showed the world the best part of us all
We will remember you
That day in September you
Showed the world the best part of us all
You showed the world the best part of us all
You showed the world the best part of us all
