With Cloudy's permission, I am re-posting this thread. This time, I would ask that people keep the discussion to the topic at hand, namely: Music that inspires you. Whether you agree with the message of the song or not. So long as it inspires you to think, feel, or do.
Anyway. if you want to talk about the SONG, and any other SONG that inspires you, feel free. If you want to talk about the war, go to the
WAR FORUM
I would ask that people respect my wishes on this and keep the thread on topic. If it gets hijacked a second time, I'm just going to ask that it be locked and not bother again. K?
Thanks in advance folks! I appreciate it.
Nacht
Anyway...here's the original thread again, as well as part of my response on
THE OTHER THREAD.

We all know where each other stand, and noone is going to make anyone else change their position(short of a bulldozer). This is about exchanging ideas and viewpoints folks, not exchanging blows.

As I was getting dressed this morning, I heard this on the radio, and it really touched me, so I thought I'd share. [img]smile.gif[/img]
The new single by
Darryl Worley, called Have You Forgotten? is a fantastic song, and reminds us Americans what we're really fighting for. You can listen to a stream of the song
HERE on his
official site.
I've cut/pasted the lyrics below, in case you cant listen to the stream.
***********************************************
HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN?
***********************************************
I hear people saying we don't need this war
I say there's some things worth fighting for
What about our freedom and this piece of ground?
We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down
They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in
Before you start preaching
Let me ask you this my friend
CHORUS 1
Have you forgotten how it felt that day
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside
Going through a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbing for you and me
It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it every day
Some say this country's just out looking for a fight
After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right
CHORUS 1
Have you forgotten how it felt that day
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside
Going through a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
And you can bet they remember
Just what they're fighting for
CHORUS 2
Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Some went down like heroes in that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
All the loved ones that we lost
And those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry about Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
