There She Stands- Day 99

After September 11 happened, President George W. Bush called Michael W. Smith to the White House. Side note: They call each other "W". Haha. Anyhow, President Bush as Michael W. Smith to write a song in honor of September 11. Wow! What an honor to be asked that by the president! And what a huge task to accomplish. Talk about pressure! So because of that, this song was written. Nowing the context of it, just listening to this song gives me chills.

There She Stands by Michael W. Smith
When the night
Seems to say
All hope is lost
Gone away
But I know
I'm not alone
By the light
She stands

There she waves
Faithful friend
Shimmering stars
Westward wind
Show the way
Carry me
To the place
She stands

Just when you think it might be over
Just when you think the fight is gone
Someone will risk his life to raise her
There she stands

There she flies
Clear blue skies
Reminds us with red
Of those that died
Washed in white
By the brave
In their strength
She stands

When evil calls itself a martyr
When all your hopes come crashing down
Someone will pull her from the rubble
There she stands

We've seen her flying torn and tattered
We've seen her stand the test of time
And through it all the fools have fallen
There she stands

By the dawn's
Early light
And through the fight
She stands

I can't possibly pick just one video to share for this one. So here they are...
