SONGS

I wrote this song at the end of 2001. I hope it speaks (sings) for itself. I tried to imagine (from five people's point of view) what it would be like to be in the building at that time.

                                                                                                                 REMEMBER SEPTEMBER 2001

WELL JENNY WAS SITTING WITH A PEN IN HER HAND                                                                           SHE WAS THINKING ABOUT HER AND HER MAN
SHE LOOKED OUT OF THE WINDOW FROM THE EIGHTY-SECOND FLOOR                                       AND WHAT SHE SAW SHE’D NEVER SEEN BEFORE
FLYING STRAIGHT AT THE BUILDING SHE WAS IN                                                                                 WAS A JUMBO JET PLANE WHAT A TERRIFYING DIN.

WELL PAUL HAD ARRIVED AT WORK THAT DAY                                                                                     WONDERING IF HIS BOSS HAD INCREASED HIS PAY
HAD JUST ENTERED HIS OFFICE ….HAD JUST CLOSED THE DOOR                                                     WHEN HE HEARD AN EXPLOSION    FROM ANOTHER FLOOR
HE NEVER QUITE NEW WHAT THE TERRORISTS HAD DONE                                                                 AS THE CEILING COLLAPSED  …NO CHANCE TO EVEN RUN

 
                                                                                                                REMEMBER SEPTEMBER 2001.

WELL JOHN WAS AT THE TOP OF THE NORTH TWIN TOWER                                                               A COMPANY DIRECTOR AT THE HEIGHT OF HIS POWER
THE LAST CALL MADE ON HIS CELLULAR PHONE                                                                                   WAS TO HIS WIFE JAN  WHO WAS WITH THEIR SON        ALL ALONE
‘THE SMOKE IS GETTING THICK DEAR FORGIVE ME FOR ALL’                                                           BUT THE PHONE WENT DEAD        THE END OF THE CALL

                                                                                                                REMEMBER SEPTEMBER 2001

WELL JANE WAS ENTERING FROM THE STREET BELOW                                                                       WHEN SHE LOOKED UP AND SAW THAT FIRE BALL GLOW
SHE RAN INSIDE AND SHOUTED TO ALL                                                                                                   ‘LETS GET OUT OF HERE IN CASE IT MIGHT FALL’
LITTLE DID SHE KNOW WHEN SHE MADE THAT SHOUT                                                                         THAT 4000 INSIDE WOULD NEVER GET OUT

                                                                                                             REMEMBER SEPTEMBER 2001.
