Song DescriptionA thoughtful elegy for those lost in New York City on September 11, 2001, centered on those who choose to help in the face of tragedy
Story Behind the SongOn that Tuesday morning, I watched the Twin Towers burn, then fall, from my windows. In the days and weeks after, while my beloved city mourned, I reflected on how much had changed so quickly, and on the great numbers of people -- of all races, religions, and professions -- who risked their lives to help however they could.
Lyrics
Fly Now
Dedicated to Ladder 3 and Captain Patrick Brown
Technicolor morning, summer just gone
New shoes on, schools begun
The human hum...
Came without a warning
Sudden change morning doves
left their towers and flew away
Full flight, low hum
Shadow across the sun
Steel melts to liquid, fountain of glass
Fly Now
Whether it's a calling or different drum
Some folks think first of all
To help someone
Technicolor morning, no different pace
Shower and shave and for some
A lasting embrace
Daughters and girlfriends
and moms and wives
Brothers and fathers and sons and husbands
Hearts melt together, fountain of souls
FLY NOW
Whether it's a calling or different drum
Some folks think first of all
To help someone
