On September 13, 2001, while trying to comprehend
the events of 9-11, the music of this song swept through me,
and the visual images in my mind's eye became clear enough to
translate into lyrics. This song is a gift meant to be shared
with everyone, for it carries with it a timeless message and
the message is this:
In the face of a catastrophic event, the strength of
the Human Spirit, when filled with compassion, rises above
and beyond even the instinct of self-preservation.
Through the purist form of Love, the Human Spirit transcends
into true greatness; this is Heroism.
There were innumerable acts of heroism surrounding
the events of 9-11, and every single personal sacrifice
deserves to be acknowledged. There can be no un-sung heroes.
This song is dedicated to the brave men and women
who demonstrated, with dignity and determination, courage
and compassion the highest levels of Humanity for the whole
world to watch. In the darkest hours, their acts of heroism
will continue to shine, with a light so bright, and a spirit
so pure it will not be extinguished. They are the best of
the best, and throughout history, for generations to come,
we will always remember the Heroes of 911.
