The 9-11 song that 9-11 families turn to for comfort every day.
Verse:
On a bright September morning in the greatest city known,
A gentle breeze was blowing through the place they called their home,
And high above the city, they were working side by side,
In the gleaming towers reaching far up to the sky.
Chorus:
They were Halfway to Heaven and I know they’re all there now,
Fathers, sons, and daughters, and mothers free and proud,
And those who raced into the flames to save their fellow man,
I know that they’re all home now.
Verse:
They will always be among us for their love can never die,
And we shall walk together though the years will all pass by,
And at ev’ry graduation, and wherever love is true,
Set a place at the table, for they will be there too.
Chorus:
They were Halfway to Heaven, and I know they’re all there now,
Fathers, sons, and daughters, and mothers free and proud,
And those who raced into the flames to save their fellow man,
I know that they’re all home now.
Repeat:
They were Halfway to Heaven, and I know they’re all there now,
Fathers, sons, and daughter, and mothers free and proud,
And those who raced into the flames to save their fellow man,
I know that they’re all home now,
I know that they’re all home now.
