Sleepy Hollow: Songs

Beautiful (9/11 lyrics)

(Sleepy Hollow)
October 15, 2001
Castiel
After the tragic events of September 11, 2001, Dan wrote these new lyrics to his song "Beautiful". We did a demo to a drum machine in a friend's basement studio, but the tape used was wobbly and it came out rather uneven.
words & music Castiel

Throughout my life I've seen a lot of things,
but nothing compares to what I've seen,
The World Trade Center, so majestic and tall,
An American dream, they should never fall,
The Firefighters gave their every strength,
The NYPD went to every length,
To ease and comfort all the suffering,
Hand in hand forever we'll sing,
CHORUS: We're taking back our world today,
Our brotherhood inspires in every way,
Together we can seize the day,
We're taking back our world today.
Much courage was shown in the aftermath,
New York City is proud,
Time to feel our wrath,
Armageddon comes to those who thrive,
from this terrible loss of so many lives,
With the grace of God we will stand together,
A united force we will be forever,
An undivided nation we will always be free,
No one on this earth will take our liberty.
