Our Towers
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They took away our towers
On a calm September day
They killed our New York Families
And turned our hearts to clay
They took away our towers
We saw them coming down
The Taliban, the Taliban
A gang of faceless clowns
They took away our towers
And left a dusty hole
The skyline changed forever
But they cannot have our soul
And from the dusty rubble
Rise the ones we hold so dear
To a higher place in a brighter space
As our freedom bell rings clear
It's our freedom bell you hear
They took away our towers
The heartache yet remains
On the steel we place our flowers
Hold hands and sing refrains
They took away our towers
A symbol of our success
They cannot have our faith in God
For that we're truly blessed
They took away our towers
The tallest shadows gone
And where the shadows used to be
The birds still sing their song
And from the dusty rubble
Rise the ones we hold so dear
To a higher place in a brighter space
As our freedom bell rings clear
It's our freedom bell you hear
Oh, freedom
Oh, freedom
They took away our towers
The reason seems obscure
Those faceless men with yellow hearts
The Taliban for sure
They took away our towers
A monetary loss
But the lives now gone forever
Are remembered by the cross
They took away our towers
A cowardly cunning dread
Their insanity and twisted minds
Their plans will soon be dead
And from the dusty rubble
Rise the ones we hold so dear
To a higher place in a brighter space
As our freedom bell rings clear
It's our freedom bell you hear
And from the towers rubble
Rise the ones we hold so dear
To a higher place in a brighter space
As our freedom bell rings clear
It's our freedom bell they fear
Freedom
I said, freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
