Following the results of the 9/11 attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, President George W. Bush requested that Michael W. Smith write a song about it. This is what Smith produced, a song about patriotism and the American Flag.
[Verse 1]
When the night seems to say
All hope is lost, gone away
But I know I'm not alone
By the light she stands
[Verse 2]
There she waves, faithful friend
Shimmering stars, westward wind
Show the way, carry me
To the place she stands
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus 2]
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
[Outro]
By the dawn's, early light
And through the fight
She stands
Michael W. Smith released There She Stands on Tue Oct 22 2002.
