Song Description
This song honors those who served and those who gave their lives during this shocking time in America's history. Immediately following the attack on our Nation (9/11/2001), we also witnessed an unprecedented outpouring of charity from public servants & citizens around the USA and even from friends around the world, while experiencing the fullness of what it means to be....."One Nation Under God."
Inspired as well by the works of Mother Teresa & other great humanitarians, visionaries, & patriots, Ann Wolf wrote this song to honor all those who still dare to love and serve, even in the face of hate, fear, and the most difficult and challenging of circumstances which can afflict us.

Lyrics
"Blessed Are the Ones"
Verse 1:
Blessed are the ones
Blessed are the ones who honor life
In their own special way
Blessed are the souls
Blessed are the souls that shine on
Even when the world can't hear what they say
Blessed are the heroes
Who do not know they're heroes
But without them
How would we find our way?
Blessed are the ones
Blessed are the ones who still care
Despite it all
The ones who dare to love.
Verse 2:
Blessed are the hearts
Blessed are the hearts still open
Blessed are the brave who dare to give
Blessed are the dreamers
Those impassioned dreamers
Who do not know another way to live
Blessed is the ground they walk on
Blessed are the words they speak
And when they move
The angels guide their way......
Blessed are the ones
Blessed are the ones reminding us
Of all the beauty we can know
Bridge:
And if their voice is silenced in them
The rocks and stones will cry out for them
And if their way is blocked they'll learn to fly
Blessed are the ones
Who cry our tears for us
The ones who heal the fear in us
The ones who teach that love can never die
Conclusion:
Blessed are the ones
Blessed are the ones who have so much love
And in Love we're born again
Again, Again
Blessed are the ones
Who despite it all
Still choose to shine on even through the darkest night
Blessed are the ones.
