in loving memory of all the victims of 9/11

"Heaven 9/11" by DJ Sammy

*It's been a year daddy
I really really miss you
Mommy says your safe now
In a beautiful place called heaven*
Oh I'm thinking about our younger years
*We had your favorite dinner tonite*
there was only you and me
*I ate it all up*
We were young and wild and free
*Even though I don't like carrots*
Now nothing can take you away from me
*I learned how to swim this summer*
We've been down that road before
*I can even open my eyes*
But that's over now
*While I'm under water*
You keep me coming back for more
*Can't you see me?*
Baby you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven

*I started kindergarten this year*
Love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

*I carry a picture of us
In my Blue's Clues lunchbox*
Oh once in your life you find someone
*You are the greatest daddy*
Who will turn your world around
Pick you up when you're feeling down
Now nothing can change what you mean to me

*I can swing on the swing by myself*
There's a lot that I could say
But just hold me now

*Even though I miss you pushing me*
Cause our love will light the way
*Can't you see me?*
Baby you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven

*I miss how you used to tickle me*
And love is all that I need
*Tickle my belly*
And I found it there in your heart
*My belly hurts*
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

*I try not to cry*
I've been waiting for so long
*Mommy says it's okay*
For something to arrive
For love to come along

*I know you don't like it when I cry*
Now our dreams are coming true
Through the good times and the bad

*You never wanted me to be sad*
I'll be standing there by you
*I try Daddy but it hurts*
Baby you're all that I want
*Is it true you're not coming home?*
When you're lying here in my arms
*Maybe someday*
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven

*I can visit you in heaven, okay?*
And love is all that I need
And I've found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

*It's time for me to go bed now
I sleep with the light on
Just in case you come home
And kiss me good night
I love you so much
I miss you Daddy*

Why I love this song; I love it because it?s so sad but also in a way so sweet. It makes me remind the terrible thing that happened that day in New York City. Not only that almost 3000 people died but also that so many more people lost someone close, families were torn apart, children lost their parents, parents lost their children, wives lost their husbands, husbands lost their wives and so on... But it also reminds me about the heroes, the 343 firemen and the 60 policemen that risked and lost their lives to save others. What if everyone could be like them? What I like the most and what I also think is the point of the lyrics is, that even if everything seems hopeless and like nothing?s gonna be alright again, you should always have hope, like the little girl in the song, because sometimes that is what keeps us alive.


Never Forget, Never Surrender.
