The sad events of September 11, 2001 inspired many songwriters to write songs. We list here lyrics of some songs, and hope these will help all of us to be reminded of the events and feelings of the 9-11 attack. We also invite you to post your own memorial thoughts.
I woke up Tuesday morning and turned on channel five
Two towers were on fire - two eagles hit the side
I didn't know what happened, but I knew something was wrong
Two smokestacks on the skyline two hours after dawn
I saw it in slow motion like a Hollywood cartoon
But any doubt I might've had just vanished all too soon
Then one after another with an unforgotten sound
Twin soldiers disappeared - twin soldiers hit the ground
[Chorus]
You can't break my back and you can't keep me down
'Cause I believe that freedom will keep me standing tall
Despite the weight upon my shoulders and confusion on my mind
I will rise up even stronger and heal over time
A charity song for children who lost
a firefighter/police parent in the 911 attack.
The morning froze in silence
as the terror filled our hearts
we stared in disbelief at what we saw.
Through the dust we felt so helpless,
wishing that we could have known.
We hold our families close, as we watched them fall.
Some people didn't waiver, they had a job to do.
There was nothing that could keep them away...
Oh, it's a special kind of hero
who would sacrifice themselves - so I could spend another day with you.
And for all the fallen heroes who saved a life that day
your courage unites a nation, and we'll remember you.
So many people crying, walking in a daze
holding pictures of their loved ones
through an empty haze.
Our Heroes didnt falter, they held out a helping hand
remembering their own children, as they rushed inside again.
They didnt waiver, they had a job to do
and some never made it home that day.
Oooh well remember you. We honor you, salute,
respect and cherish you.
Not many people can do the duty that
you knew on that cold September day.
Lyrics by Amy Matthew ASCAP 2008,
music by Karen Mack from KAR Records.
Roselle is a song about a guide dog who was working for her owner in one of the twin towers on 9-11-01. You can listen to it by choosing it from the playlist shown on the right side of this site.
They were 80 floors up, and when everything happened, she did exactly what a guide dog is trained to do: Don't panic, and calmly lead your blind owner to safety. The lyrics are here.
