about

Despite the tragedy, fear and war fever after 9/11, Americans could look
to the heroic passengers who stopped hijacked Flight 93 reaching its target. Jack adapted Guthrie’s 1942 “Reuben James,” itself adapted from “Wildwood Flower.”

lyrics

It was on a Tuesday morning, the sun was shining bright
37 passengers were boarding for the flight
Destination San Francisco, they’d never get to see
Departure boards were flashing United 93

Chorus
United 93, remember their names
Come tell of the time on that great silver plane
The bravest band of travellers that ever flew the sky
Said “We’re bound to fight ‘cause we know we’re bound to die.”

Half an hour in the air, four hijackers attacked
Blood flowed in the cockpit, the passengers forced back
They could see that these assassins were bent on suicide
Their dark and deadly plan must surely be defied

Chorus

(spoken)
Time was short, they all phoned home, said what they had to do
“We’re gonna take the plane back even if we go down too”
Five men led the charge, a voice called out “Let’s roll”
They crashed at Stoney Creek and became immortal souls

Chorus

A fireball of lightening broke across the hills that day
God knows what greater terror they defeated by the way
So when we sing of heroes who keep our country free
We’ll remember the passengers on Flight 93

Chorus
Flight United 93….
