Hole In The Sky - 9/11 Tribute Song

This song came to me after many months of deep sadness and reflection. In a single, unimaginable moment, every American's life was forever changed. For me, an empty skyline became a painful metaphor for the loss we all felt in our hearts. As we slowly begin to heal, it is my sincere wish to honor the memory of those great heroes that were both lost and born on that tragic September day.

Lyrics:

There's a hole in the sky
Where our innocence died
With our family and friends
And our fellow countrymen

As I stand on this ground
I can feel my heart pound
For the freedom we found
Has been threatened yet again

September day, swept away
Crumbling steel and stolen dreams
Clouds subside, we will rise
Towers of peace and love appear

There's a hole in our hearts
That I wish could be filled
By our heroes' brave deeds
And the cause for which they stood

Let us stand on this ground
And remember them now
For the freedom we found
Through their lives has been renewed

September day, let us pray
For them now and evermore
Clouds subside, we will rise
Towers of peace and love appear
Clouds subside, we will rise
Towers of peace and love appear

Jerry, not only were you a first responder at Ground Zero, you were also THE first responder to comment on our song and video page. We deeply appreciate your efforts and patriotism. You are one of the heroes for whom this tribute was written.

My name is Jerry Lucas I am a nurse here in Indiana and I am one of those that responded to Ground Zero. On September 12th at 0200 I walked into hell. I post my views ten years later and I ask you please take a look and respond. I am just one of many that are proud of what we done. Thanks to all those who responded that day and to those in the field today.
