Through Thick and Thin


The hardships that we’ve gone through Yeah there’s been quite a few Bouncing back is the tough part But we’ve been able to break through The twin towers were collapsing And everyone in despair Nobody knew what was happening It was something we couldn’t bare When we thought it was all over And time to break down We applauded the fire fighters Nobody thought to frown It was a time to stick together To help anybody in need As long as we helped each other out Our success was guaranteed When a little town named Sandy Hook Was suddenly known worldwide Everybody was stunned Had no US pride Just imagining those children Having that fear in their eyes If you thought about it long enough You could almost hear their cries It was a time of hatred and sorrow Everyone felt a little shaken Nobody knew what to do With this very sad information We lit candles and sent teddy bears It never felt like enough We wanted to love and support But what they went through was just so rough We as a nation are indivisible We will never divide Even at the worst times We still have our US pride
