REBECCA'S SONG
Larry Pearson and Marie Pearson

September 11
Love came from heaven
the morning the whole world cried.
Some say its tragic
but I say it's magic
despite the dark there was light
I think that God cried tears of sorrow but also
tears of joy for this world
‘Cause September 11
He sent some heaven
in the birth of my baby girl.

So I cradled my newborn
There in a room warmed up
by her small heartbeat
Was it OK
to feel on this day
indescribable peace?
I wasn't sure, should I smile, should I cry?
‘Cause there was so much grief in those flags unfurled
But I chose to hold beauty
From the life that came through me
For the sake of my baby girl

Maybe joy is always here
Maybe it's just waiting here
for the eyes that will see it
The vision to reach it
And hold it up for this world
Even if it's one baby girl.
