A tear in the eye of the eagle A smudge on the flag hold so dear A sob in the anthem we're singing A prayer to the One who will hear A landmark demolished to rubble A monument ripped open wide A people mourning lost loved ones A nation united with pride An enemy lurking in shadow A commitment to settle the score A leader to guide and protect us A pledge from each heart, "Never more."
