America Hold Your Head Up High

I wrote, "America (Hold Your Head Up High)", just hours after our country was savagely attacked by cowardly terrorists. Each and every one of us remembers where we were, what we were doing and how we felt as we watched the Twin Towers crumble to the ground LIVE on national television. This is my personal account....I have never released this video until now....please forgive the quality as this is the original video we produced in 2001 (A new video will be released before the 10 year anniversary this year). One final thought.....as you watch and listen to our presentation, I hope you will understand that this is not a sad song...this is a song of hope and a tribute to the strength and courage that defines the American spirit. Dedicated to the families of the victims of 9/11.....all of our brave soldiers and countrymen who have lost their lives in battle defending this nation and the freedoms we sometimes take for granted.....and most importantly to our veterans and active military who are still standing strong and proud today and to whom we owe EVERY SINGLE FREEDOM that we have in this country. If you enjoy it, please, share it with your friends. The lyrics are below and the song can be purchased by going to itune (search Bucky Heard or America (Hold Your Head Up High)....God bless each and every one of you and God bless America.

AMERICA (HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH)

(V1)
Sipping on a coffee preparing for my day
Turn on the television what will the newsman say?
As the images appear I can't believe my eyes
Total devastation when the planes fell from the sky
A frightened man is interviewed, his face a bleeding mess
His ashen covered body reels with pain but he'll confess
That he was there and saw it all when the Towers crumbled down
As thousands lay there, dead or hurt, he scrambled off the ground

(Chorus)
America, time to dry your eyes
Reach down deep in your soul
Hold your head up high
Dear Lord, provide us with the strength
To fight this fight for liberty
Let's show the world, we'll keep our dignity
As angels of the fallen ones watch over you and me

(V2)
Now, our spacious skies have grown quietly surreal
I stand here broken hearted, how am I supposed to feel
Will the spirit of democracy ever be the same again
Will the faith that makes this nation strong make us stronger in the end
Nothing can divide this land, our stars and stripes shall wave
From sea to shining sea, this is the home of the brave
In our nation's darkest hour, united we stand
Just take your brother by the hand and hold on to the bitter end
The USA will rise again (Rise again)

(Chorus)

As angels of the fallen ones watch over you and me

A MUST HEAR! This is one of the most powerful and poignant 9/11 songs I have ever heard. The melody is very moving, while the lyrics take you back to that day all of us will never ever forget. Thank you, Bucky for sharing this with all of America! God Bless the U.S. of A.
