Hi LL~
I don't know if this is appropriate but wanted to share my American Pie parody: They printed it in my town but I had to condense it, so this is the version I will give you, btw: Happy Independence Day, it i also long for those who wish to read it:
Not so long ago
I remember how life use to be
and I know if we took the chance
we'd give our testimonial stance
maybe some would join
or some would flee
But 911 gave everyone the chills
Headlines flooding from the mills
bad news from the the Pentegon
1/2 their building is now gone
I remember as I cried when I saw the twin
tower demise
Something reached me deep inside the Day
The people cried
Saying Lord Lord don't turn you back on us
Eventhough we no longer accept in God we trust
We want you to denfend us this day
Come on hear your people pray
So who wrote this book on love and where's your faith in
God above
Do you believe Jesus can save your soul?
Can you teach others to know?
Well I know I have life in Him, but I saw you
praying in the gym.
Prayers aren't allowed in school, yet love
those Gospel tunes
Blaring siren from a fire truck where people are
running and some others did duck
the day the people cried
It's been two years since the towers fell
as someone rang the Liberty Bell
Come on United we stand
When Bin Laden had fled the seen
Saddam Hussien came marching in the green
Singing hate songs to you and me
Bush in prayer said send our troops,
Saddam and his sons fled the coop
The war we thought was over,
but they were just taking cover
While people looked for Victory
A gay bishop elected in the rectory
He kicked off his shoes, but where
are the Godly rules?
The day the people cried
Crime no longer pays in time
but uses up the tax payers dime
The house doesn't pass it fast
Because they want their seat to last
Now as people stood in outrage
as the continued on a new page
We all had a chance
But noone would take a stance
Everyone wants the field
leaving it for satan to steal
The day the people cried
As the war continued through the night did we see the sacrifial light?
I met a soldier who marched in tune
thougth he was coming home soon
But his smiled faded away
He's already been through Desert Strom
Now for him it's just the norm
All newcomers a Saviour is born
In the streets is mass destruction
and everyone pays for reconstruction
and many churches go their separate way
And whose eyes are on the Host
Father, Son and Holy Ghost
He's the one we need the most
the day the people Cried
