Lyrics

Watching the planes, the planes go by
Flying so fast, so fast they go by
It's not just a game, many have died
Watching the planes coming in from the sky

These flag draped coffins bring a tear to my eyes
Watching all these soldiers say their final goodbyes
Watching little children hold their mommas tight
I Stand Up, I Stand Up

Watching the flag being folded up
Watching a mom as she falls down
I Stand Up, I.....
I Stand Up, I Stand Up, I Stand Up, I Stand Up

In God We Trust, In God We Trust
In God We Trust, In God We Trust, repeat 2 times.
