	Story Behind the Song Like most people, I was a passive observer of 9/11. I sat, transfixed by the television, not moving, not breathing - for a week. Then it started to sink in. Not being able to travel to New York, and not being an American, it was difficult to express the emotion that I felt that horrible week. So I did the only thing I could do - I put it into words and wrote music to it. Not really a "tribute song", this is just a song about how I felt on Sept. 11, and I hope it is a feeling that is shared by others. I hope I haven't offended anyone with this song, and I sincerely hope that there are others out there who can identify with it. I would love to hear your comments. Lyrics Memoriam (Please Stop) Dedicated to the victims of the Sept.11 attacks and their families The skies were all blue on that day But September 11 gave way Horrors on horrors we saw Innocence ripped raw The clock on the wall seemed to stop And all that I need I forgot And all of the birds held their breath For the families and children now left Won't you please Please stop This madness Sons and daughters Sisters, brothers Mothers, fathers Gone Bankers, lawyers Clerks and traders Not a soldier one The smoke at Ground Zero may fade Shiny new buildings might be made But nothing can fill up this space For the thousands who hope and still wait Won't you please Please stop This madness If there's love in your heart Then open your heart Let go of your hate And please stop
