	Story Behind the Song I was motivated to write this song by the great sadness and shock that all Americans felt after the events of 9/11/01. The lyrics honor the victims and the survivors as well as the American spirit; they acknowledge the sadness, but take comfort in the knowledge that we will stand together as Americans and persevere.
