Mom,
have I ever told you?
That
I love the man I am, the man I’ve grown up to
be?
Mom,
you taught me to tell the truth.
Fight
for what I believe in.
To
have my faith in God.
I
wanted to say thank you, and
You’ll
always be Mark Bingham’s superstar
What
a beautiful day
What
a special day
I
don’t know if it will be bad or good
But
I’ll take it anyway
‘Cause
it’s a beautiful day
It’s
a super day
Sometimes
the sun comes out without a reason
I
count my blessings every night I got to sleep
It’s
a beautiful, American day!
Yes,
I need a car service to Newark International…
Yes,
250 Harlan…(is that right?) in Denville.
Great. See you then.
Matt’s
a beautiful friend
He’s
a special friend
I
know this feeling far too well
I
think I’m in love again
He’s
got keys to my heart
And
from the start
Doubts
and fears flew off like bumblebees, and
He
melts me, but somehow I feel ten feet tall
Oh,
I’ve never felt so ready to fall
Yes,
I need a receipt from you please….
Uh….the
11th…September 11th.
Great.
Thanks! Tax right off….
It’s
like my momma told me
If
you do what’s right
When
the time comes you’ll be prepared to fight
Although
you may not know me
Love
is on my side
Darkness
always recognizes light
She
said remember this…
And
someday you might be a hero
In
this crazy, modern world!
Excuse
me, oops…sorry…can you tell me where Flight
93 is leaving from? Great….yeah, I’m a
Dolphins fan….oh, no Buffalo’s goin’ down
this weekend!
What
a beautiful day
What
a special day
I
could go for some rugby later on today
‘Cause
it’s a beautiful day
It’s
a super day
September
always brings the perfect season
It’s
like buying the CD to your favorite song
On
a beautiful, American day!
Hey,
I made it. Barely.
I’m
one of the last people to get on the plane.
I
had a good time, too. Hey, I have to turn my
cell off. I’ll call you later. Me, too.
Evil
waits, around the corner
Every
minute, every hour
I
can’t worry about what if
With
so much life to live
Whoa!
It’s
like my momma told me
If
you do what’s right
When
the time comes you’ll be prepared to fight
Although
you may not know me
Love
is on my side
Darkness
always recognizes light
She
said remember this…
And
someday you might be a hero
In
this crazy, mixed-up, political, radical,
heartless, savage-
Mom,
this is Mark Bingham.
Our
plane’s being hijacked.
We’re
gonna fight back.
I
love you.
Modern
world!
