This is a song that I wrote in response to the February 14th shooting that occurred at NIU. This is a tribute to honor the 5 students who we lost and to help encourage the NIU community to stay strong and move forward.
"Together Forward Again" Lyrics (Verse 1) How did we ever find the courage that we did To get us through these times of heartache and suffering?
Its a strange, strange feeling when youre helpless inside, And there is no one there who can recognize The pain in your heart as you lie in the dark Hoping maybe it subsides.
We work to stay strong and we try to stand tall Cuz we havent lost our pride at all Everyone says it will get better in time, But I say its ok to cry.
If you need a friend you can take my hand.
C: As we move together forward again, We wont forget our five lost friends. They made a mark on us and memories never end, So as we dream we will honor them.
(Verse 2) How did we ever stand so firm against the wind, When in this big old plan we never planned on this?
Now weve come a long way from then to now, So we spread a little love to show us how these Little acts of kindness spreading through the town Can still be great somehow.
We remember the love that theyve shared with us And we let our guard just fall back down. We work to stay strong just like we have all along Wont you take a look around?
And if you need a friend, take a look at all of these hands reaching out.

Thank you for this, it felt really good listing to this and reflecting. I have such a large number of friends attending NIU, I have high school class mates that were present in that lecture hall that day. And my best friend grew up with Dan. Although only meting Dan once at a school Dance, I still am deeply moved by this tragity. We are thankful for people like you Dina who honor what is lost. Thank you. Always Remember 2.14.08.
Thanks for the song, Dina. My college roommate at Eastern, Joe, lost his daughter, Gayle, in that shooting last year. I'm sure that Joe Dubowski would appreciate this song also.
