(We Need to Be) The Re-United States

Once there was a nation, proud and unified,
It's heart and spirit real, built with values more than steel
But slowly spoiled with riches, and caring less in time
The simple ways and strong beliefs were often cast aside

For many years, this mighty nation did just as it pleased
And then one day, '911', knocked it to it's knees

We need to be the Re-United States
The home and precious land that heroes still defend
Here are the choices, build it back, or let it fall
It's time to answer Freedom's wake-up call

So, tell me what's the problem to say a prayer in schools?
No matter what the faith, a silent moment we should take
There are many who would disagree, but doesn't it seem odd
Our problems seemed to start without "One Nation Under God"

Must there be a tragedy for flags to fly again?
Our Forces serve us everyday, even when the conflicts end.

We need to be the Re-United States
The home and precious land that heroes still defend
Here are the choices, build it back, or let it fall
It's time to answer Freedom's wake-up call
