MUSIC CREDIT GOES TO BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND HIS MUSIC LABEL!

*Song is "Into the Fire" by Bruce Springsteen. Bruce Springsteen's new disc, The Rising, is the best attempt by any musician to date at capturing the emotions of post-9/11/01 America. "Into the Fire" is the one song Springsteen has said he wrote specifically about 9/11 rescue workers. "May your strength give us strength/May your faith give us faith/ May your hope give us hope/May your love bring us love," he sings with gospel choir backing in the song's simple but effective chorus. He embodies a sensibility so American that no one else could have made an album about September 11 and have it come off this well. Throughout The Rising, he approaches September 11 from a slant-wise perspective, never slamming you in the head with his message, but letting the power of the record flow naturally from the careful craft of his signature emotional ballads and rockers.

INTO THE FIRE

The sky was falling and streaked with blood
I heard you calling me, then you disappeared into the dust
Up the stairs, into the fire
Up the stairs, into the fire
I need your kiss, but love and duty called you someplace higher
Somewhere up the stairs, into the fire

May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love give us love

May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love bring us love

You gave your love to see, in fields of red and autumn brown
You gave your love to me and lay your young body down
Up the stairs, into the fire
Up the stairs, into the fire
I need you near, but love and duty called you someplace higher
Somewhere up the stairs, into the fire

May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love give us love

May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love bring us love

May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love bring us love

It was dark, too dark to see, you held me in the light you gave
You lay your hand on me
Then walked into the darkness of your smoky grave
Up the stairs, into the fire
Up the stairs, into the fire
I need your kiss, but love and duty called you someplace higher
Somewhere up the stairs, into the fire

May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love bring us love...


May your love bring us love

  • You can post all of your conspiracy theories, but ultimately....Good people died. Mothers, Fathers, Sons, Daughters, Families, Firefighters, Police Officers, Emergency Medical Technicians and all of those whom I fail to mention. I would like to personally thank the soldiers that are protecting us and making it possible for us to express our ideas and beliefs. Shame on anybody for thinking any different.
