This song was written with them in mind, but when September 11th took place, the song took on a greater meaning. It's a song about hope, not about mourning and grief. Lyrics This song is for everyone who can't be here today And watching from above, they know it's true Mothers, brothers, cousins, uncles, friends along the way This old world's just not the same without you For the absent, for the gone, we pause a minute now Remembering the good times that we shared Through this is the means that we, in our own way, somehow Keep you alive by showing that we care [bridge] And as we race into the future As we reach out to the stars You'll be there, all the way Because we're all of one heart, we are [instrumental] You're there with us in all we do, our joy and all our tears And you'll live on as long as we are here Someday, despite all our worries and our nameless fears We will meet again, my friends, with all whom we hold dear [bridge] As we race into the future And as we reach out to the stars You'll be there, all the way Because we're all of one heart, we are
