The enemy may be near

Seeing America in such grief 

is to much to believe

Fighting terrorist in our land 

has become the nightmare that they planned.

We must remain proud and free

and not give into the enemy

Although our land is open to all

we must make a stand

that we will not fall

Although this war is deeper than we may know

who will send the final blow

We must not live our life in fear 

just pay attention, for the enemy my be near

Because our home is the land of the free 

we must remember to not get greedy

We must all love our fellow man

for in a disaster 

he may be the one to lend a helping hand.
