Have You Forgotten
Written by Darryl Worley and Wynn Varble
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 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 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 looking for a fight After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right
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?
Yes, some went down like heroes in that Pennsylvania field Have you forgotten about our Pentagon? All the loved ones that we lost And those left to carry on
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
