Flight 93
They took off from Newark on a warm autumn day With forty five travelers and crew They all were unarmed at the will of the law Security passed them all through An hour into flight time four Arabs jumped up Two Ahmeds, [?], and Saied Announced a hijacking and waved knives around Razor-blades box-knives and steak knives they found And a box that they swore was a bomb up and down They thought that was all they would need
Flight 93 no more will fly Dead on the ground or dead in the sky You might not survive, but at least you can try Stand up and bring the ship down
Cici the stewardess had a cellphone And called up her husband to say The plane has been hijacked we'll do as we're trained Be quiet and humbly obey They'll dicker for money, or some social cause The government surely will pay They'll put us out somewhere and leave with their score Or maybe police will come catch them and more That's always the way this has been done before With luck, I'll be home in a day
Flight 93 no more will fly Dead on the ground or dead in the sky You might not survive, but at least you can try Stand up and bring the ship down
Next was Mark Bingham who had a phone two And used it to call up his mom He said they'd been hijacked by three foreign men Who had knives and said they had a bomb But some of the passengers plotted, he said To take back the plane as it flew But first tell me mom, is it true what they say That three other airplanes were hijacked today Flown straight into buildings and blew them away His mother cried and said it's true
Flight 93 no more will fly Dead on the ground or dead in the sky You might not survive, but at least you can try Stand up and bring the ship down
Jeremy Gleck called his wife on the phone And told of the bomb and the knives He said if these stories we're hearing are true We might as well fight for our lives His wife told him yes, the world trade center's hit And maybe the pentagon two He left the phone hanging and came back and said We've nothing to fight with and may wind up dead But we've voted to stand up and fight them instead And we might keep them from getting through Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Flight 93 no more will fly Dead on the ground or dead in the sky You might not survive, but at least you can try Stand up and bring the ship down
Thomas burdett phoned his wife several times Reporting the course of the fight He said one man's been stabbed and we cant reach the cockpit But somehow we'll alter the flight We've guessed that the target is likely the White House And if we fail we'll surely die We've nothing to fight with except our bear hands But we'll keep on fighting until the plane lands One way or the other, we've taken our stand My darling, i love you, goodbye
Flight 93 no more will fly Dead on the ground or dead in the sky You might not survive, but at least you can try Stand up and bring the ship down
Jason the pilot could hear the whole tale He'd signaled as well as he could He saw that the terrorists still held the cockpit And one way to stop them for good He watched as the passengers battled and died And knew that no help would be found The guard was distracted, just one chance to win There's one case where suicide isn't a sin He weighed all his chances and said hogger in And drove the ship into the ground
Flight 93 no more will fly Dead on the ground or dead in the sky You might not survive, but at least you can try Stand up and bring the ship down
Down down bring the ship down Down down bring the ship down
Flight 93 hit the ground at full speed And no one aboard her survives But the White House still stands and a few thousand folks Can thank those aboard for their lives There's no guarantee when the bad guys come in That they won't kill us all to a man So when some fanatics are out to have fun There's nowhere to hide and there's nowhere to run Then pray that the law lets you carry a gun But fight back however you can
Flight 93 no more will fly Dead on the ground or dead in the sky You might not survive, but at least you can try Stand up and bring the ship down
