Not only is this song a tribute to the victims of  9/11, but I think Sage really captured America's emotional response. He is one of the view who portray the event holistically; presenting not just the catastrophe but also the aftermath and the public's and government's reactions. 9/11 brought out some of the best and worst in Americans.  On the positive side, it united the country and brought a sense of patriotism.  ("The flag shop is out of stock.")  On the other hand, it resulted in racial profiling and xenophobia unparalleled since the Japanese interment camps after Pearl Harbor. When a country faces a tragedy, its true colors come out.  Please remember this day and strive to make America the country that unites, not crumbles, when faced with a tragedy.
