  • I hear people saying we don't need this war
    I say there's some things worth fighting for
    What about our freedom and this piece of ground
    We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down
    They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in
    Before you start your preaching
    Let me ask you this my friend

    Have you forgotten how it felt that day
    To see your homeland under fire
    And her people blown away
    Have you forgotten when those towers fell
    We had neighbors still inside
    Going through a living hell
    And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden
    Have you forgotten

    They took all the footage off my TV
    Said it's too disturbing for you and me
    It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say
    If it was up to me I'd show it everyday
    Some say this country's just out looking for a fight
    After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right

    Have you forgotten how it felt that day
    To see your homeland under fire
    And her people blown away
    Have you forgotten when those towers fell
    We had neighbors still inside
    Going through a living hell
    And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden
    Have you forgotten

    I've been there with the soldiers
    Who've gone away to war
    And you can bet that they remember
    Just what they're fighting for

    Have you forgotten all the people killed
    Some went down like heros in that Pennsylvania field
    Have you forgotten about our Pentagon
    All the loved ones that we lost
    And those left to carry on
    Don't you tell me not to worry about Bin Laden
    Have you forgotten

    Have you forgotten
    Have you forgotten Writer/s: DARRYL WORLEY, WYNN VARBLE
