Now it's my turn to voice my political opinion via song lyrics.

"Have You Forgotten?" by Darryl Worley (Darryl Worley/Wynn Varble)

I hear people sayin' we don't need this war
But I say there's some things worth fightin' for
What about our freedom and this piece 'a ground?
We didn't get to keep 'em by backin' down
They say we don't realize the mess we're gettin' in
Before you start your preachin'
Let me ask you this, my friend

Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside
Goin' through a livin' hell
(And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden)
(And we vowed to get the ones behind Bin Laden)
Have you forgotten?

They took all the footage off my TV
Said it's too disturbin' for you and me
It'll just breed anger, that's what the experts say
If it was up to me, I'd show it every day
Some say this country's just out lookin' for a fight
Well after 9/11, man, I'd have to say that's right

I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
And you can bet that they remember
Just what they're fightin' for

Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Yeah, some went down like heroes in that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
All the loved ones that we lost
And those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry 'bout Bin Laden

Have you forgotten?
