Music

I wrote this song 5 years ago after 9/11.  I just recently was able to record a home demo version of it with some equipment we purchased as blue sky hush.  It was the first thing I did from an artistic point of view, although I wrote a couple more songs regarding the events as well.  I missed actually putting it up on 9/11, but I felt like I should share it anyway, in case it touches anyone.  It was written for the police and firefighters who put their lives on the line on that day.

I saw the fear
As you came running down the stairs
I knew that something wasn't right
The flash.  The cries.
Silver cinders in the sky
Our lives changed like we never thought they could

Hey, hey we're the lucky ones
Pray for your daughters and your sons
'Cause they might not be coming home
Coming home

Grace, will lead us from here
Grace, will take us home
Grace, will lead us from here
Grace, will carry you home

I braved the flame
Called out your name
I watched the world fall before my feet.
In the twilight's last gleam
A sobering scene
My eyes weren't up to the task

Hey, hey we're the lucky ones
Pray for your daughters and your sons
'Cause they might not be coming home
Coming home

Grace, will lead us from here
Grace, will take us home
Grace, will lead us from here
Grace, will carry you home

In the end
We'll begin again
They cannot keep us down

Grace, will lead us from here
Grace, will take us home

Let Grace go before you always
Let Grace go before you always
Let Grace
Let Grace
Go before you always
