    Story Behind the Song
    I wrote the first two verses of this song in the afternoon of September 11th. The rest of the song was written after I realized the full extent of the War that was declared on America and what I beleive lies ahead.

    Lyrics
    For spacious skies have been changed
    But they are still blue
    And purple mountain's majesties
    Still shine through
    The amber waves of grain
    Stand strong against the wind
    For spacious skies have been changed
    But our freedom still reigns


    For each one of the thousands lost
    A million tears have been wept
    And now that they have paid the cost
    Their promise of freedom must be kept
    We must make sure that not
    One of them died in vain
    For spacious skies have been changed
    We must change them back again


    So far away and safe from harm
    Now our land faces the test
    We must unite with one loud voice
    And we must never rest
    We must seek out and stop the evil
    Or just stand and watch our freedom die
    For spacious skies have been changed
    But Old Glory still flies


    If just one more should be lost
    In our battle in which we're just
    With all we've lost one more's too much
    So in you God we trust
    Help us see our way clear
    To a clear and swift end
    For our spacious skies they must never
    Be changed by no one ever again
