Story Behind the Song
I wrote this after the events of 9-11.
Lyrics
He crys himself to sleep tonight, his dads not commin' home,
and even though tears feel his eyes, he knows he's not alone
he wonders back through this dark day, and thinks what he could have done
to take this tragedy away, for him and everyone
but he is not alone, the pain he feels, he knows is felt by others.
and we will hold on, to the memory of our sisters and brothers
Chorus:
we will not forget, we'll hold you in our hearts, as we try to find the strength to carry on
our faith will never end, united we stand, we are one nation under God, and we will not forget.
can anyone explain, can anyone make clear, what has happened here?
so many lives were lost, but surely not forgotten, by this crime of fear.
but we are not alone, the pain we feel, we know is felt by others.
and we will hold on, to the memory of our sisters and brothers.
repeat chorus:
