about

This song is respectfully dedicated to my countrymen who lost their lives on 911 and to their families.

lyrics

You can put me in a corner, push my back against the wall.
You can beat me 'til I'm bloody, but you cannot make me fall;
I'm still standin'.

I saw planes fall in the morning; I saw smoke against the sky.
I saw Death strike without warning. Despite the bitter tears I cried,
I'm still standing.

There's a time for peace they tell me; I know there's a time for war.
When I saw my brothers dying, I knew what we're fighting for
While we're still standing.

You can run back to the darkness, try to find a place to hide,
But you'd better watch your back, because we won't be satisfied
While you're still standing.

You can put us in a corner, push our backs against the wall.
You can beat us 'til we're bloody, but you cannot make us fall,
We're still standing.

Oddly enough, one of their favorite haunts appears to be in collections of my songs--you'll find a bit of each on every track. ... more
