These heroes decided, there was “nothing to lose” United, together, they rushed the hijackers A choice between lives, ours they did choose To halt the plans of these evil attackers United: Flight Ninety – Three crashed that day These patriots lost their own lives To save other lives without delay The heroism of America strongly thrives.
