Story Behind the Song
After the attacks took place, I was moved to respond in some way. I am a healer and this is the best way I know how to get the healings words and feelings to my loved ones.
Lyrics
INTRO
What our children need to know,
Where did those people go?
And who's going to justify all this pain?
And will our nation ever be the same?
VERSE 1
Each one of them was ready,
We have got to believe.
Each one of them was ready,
to leave.
Into the arms of angels,
to a peaceful place.
And it was not pain,
It was love on their face.
CHORUS
They'll be back with the sun,
In the heartbeat of the young.
They are in the rain that's falling,
They are offering us love from the sky
They are the birds flying over,
They are the sunshine on your face.
They are the moon's light on a clear night,
And they never really left this place at all.
VERSE 2
They did not fall, they flew,
into the arms of you,
The one who's watching over us all.
And it didn't take them long,
to send us back this song.
Humanity is holding strong.
So have your children sing along.
CHORUS
OUTRO
Fill the air with music.
Fill the air with music.
Fill the air with music.
You've got to believe.
(spoken)
Please don't get me wrong.
Thought there's joy in this song,
it doesn't mean I haven't wept as many tears as you. And it doesn't mean I don't have the exactly the same fears. I'm just trying to put it all into perspective. And keep the hope...there must be music. For us and for our children, there must be hope. Fill the air with music.
