    When terrorists attacked our airlines and tallest skyscrapers, they attacked international symbols for America's fundamental freedom of the skies. But our greatest freedoms and symbols survive the vicious attack. This is the anthem for a new united America. The inspiring second song of the "The American Trilogy" written and produced in touching tribute to the terror of September 11. Kimbo & Alison share vocal leads. Listen for Richard's powerful guitar solo in the break. Written & recorded immediately after the terrorist attacks and released one week later on 18 September 2001. Note: also released as a special band project by "The Americans."(To view the complete lyrics, simply click on the art for this song.)

    Story Behind the Song
    Having previously scheduled a studio session for Sunday, September 16, 2001, the band entered the recording studio shocked by the events of September 11th just 5 days earlier. They quickly agreed to scap their plans to rehearse and threw themselves into a marathon 36-hour songwriting and recording session to produce "America Standing Tall - The American Trilogy." The all-new patriotic music was released and on the air exactly one week to the hour following the terrorist attacks. The American Trilogy was soon hitting airwaves across the country from New York to Hawaii.

    Oh, say
    Say, can you see
    Flying high
    Still flying free
    Over hearts
    Still strong and true
    Under skies
    Red white and blue

    Can you see
    Here hand in hand
    Sea to sea
    United we stand
    Now as one
    Our Nation will rise
    Under free
    American skies

    Oh, say
    Say, can you see
    There she waves
    Still flying free
    Now as one
    One nation will rise
    Under free
    American skies

    Oh, say
    Say, can you see
    There she waves
    Still flying free
    Oh, say...
