Have You Forgotten?

I hear people sayin', "We don't need this war"
I say there's some things worth fightin' for
What about our freedom and this piece of ground?
We didn't get to keep 'em by backin' down

They say we don't realize the mess we're gettin' in
Before you start your preachin', 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 goin' through a livin' hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

They took all the footage off my T.V.
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 every day

Some say this country's just out lookin' for a fight
Well, 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 goin' through a livin' hell
And we vow to get the ones behind 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 fightin' for

Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Yes, some went down like heroes
In that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
All the love ones that we lost and those left to carry on?
Don't you tell me not to worry 'bout bin Laden

Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
