This is my personal tribute to those who lost their lives on 9/11. Twenty years ago, after it happened, I wrote a song. I'm not great with melody. I'm more of a lyrics person. But I wrote the melody to the chorus and bridge of this one, which I'm sharing here. The first time the chorus is sung, it says "her". The second time it says "him". The third time it says "they". I used "they" in this clip in both places. I hope it warms your heart. Here are the words:
Refrain:
Won’t someone give me roses I can lay down at their feet
Someone hold me up, I feel my knees going weak.
Someone light some candles in their honor, in their name,
And promise me they did not die in vain.
Promise me, they did not die in vain.
Bridge:
And give me a sign that life goes on tonight
Tell me that peace will prevail
Show me a world where hatred lives only in history books
Restore my faith, my love, my very soul.
