Steve Fortner’s song ‘America, America’

Description

A song I wrote and recorded after the events of 9-11, Steve Fortner. This short song pays tribute to Americans after the tragedy on September 11, 2001.

Lyrics:
America,
America
Home of the Red, White & Blue.

The Red is for the blood that was shed.
The White is for the innocense lost.
The Blue is for the sorrow we felt.

In America,
America
Home of the Red, White & Blue.

The Red is for the anger we felt.
The White is for the peace that we lost.
The Blue is for the uniforms...that paid the ulitmate cost.

In America,
America
Home of the Red, White & Blue.

The Red is for the love that we share.
The White is for the angels among us.
The Blue is for the tears that still fall.

In America,
America
Home of the Red, White & Blue.

America,
America
Home of the Red, White & Blue.

America,
America
God please shed your grace on us.

And crown the good with botherhood.
In the home of the Red, White & Blue.
In the home of the Red, White & Blue.
