Tuesday Morning Lyrics
10:03 on a Tuesday morning
In the fall of an American dream
Man is doing what he knows is right
On Flight 93
Loved his mom and he loved his dad
Loved his home and he loved his man
But on that bloody Tuesday morning
He died an American
Now you cannot change this
And you can't erase this
You can't pretend this is not the truth
Even though he could not marry
Or teach your children in our schools
Because who he wants to love
Is breaking your God's rules
He stood up on a Tuesday morning
In the terror he was brave
And he made his choice, and without a doubt
A hundred lives he must have saved
Now you cannot change this
And you can't erase this
You can't pretend this is not the truth
And the things you might take for granted
Your inalienable rights
Some might choose to deny him
Even though he gave his life
Can you live with yourself in the land of the free
And make him less of a hero than the other three?
Well it might begin to change here
In a field in Pennsylvania
Now you cannot change this
And you can't erase this
You can't pretend this is not the truth
Stand up America
Hear the bell now as it tolls
Wake up America
It's Tuesday morning
C'mon, lets roll
Now you cannot change this
And you can't erase this
You can't pretend this is not the truth
In the fall of an American dream
Man is doing what he knows is right
On Flight 93
Loved his home and he loved his man
But on that bloody Tuesday morning
He died an American
And you can't erase this
You can't pretend this is not the truth
Or teach your children in our schools
Because who he wants to love
Is breaking your God's rules
In the terror he was brave
And he made his choice, and without a doubt
A hundred lives he must have saved
And you can't erase this
You can't pretend this is not the truth
Your inalienable rights
Some might choose to deny him
Even though he gave his life
And make him less of a hero than the other three?
Well it might begin to change here
In a field in Pennsylvania
And you can't erase this
You can't pretend this is not the truth
Hear the bell now as it tolls
Wake up America
It's Tuesday morning
C'mon, lets roll
And you can't erase this
You can't pretend this is not the truth
