about

9/11 tribute to the firemen, police, and civilians that were lost and to the surviving nation. -Jon Charles Fortman

lyrics

(Overture)

Journeys sewn
With roads unknown
Wondrous life is born at night

Souls search dark seeking light
Souls search through the dark to find
Light and hope and truth for you
Every joy born anew

No primrose path to utopia
Only tabula rasa
Tam altius magnus attollo

Time is found as sacred ground
Heard are whispers shared
Deep within life begins

All the wonders of every moment
Come alive, Come alive
Wonders of each moment
Come alive, Come alive

A mirror momenti va
A mirandus momenti
Veni vivus va

Restless child I make for you
A destined odyssey of wonder
Blessed jubilation calling
Beckoning a revelation

Will triumphant sacred walk
Humble passage to surrender all

Lassus viatoris
Amplior praemi
Clusi mansionis
Requietus nunc
Sedis so grata

(Main Song)

Love and faith
And songs we make
Don’t always say
What hearts can pray

But once in time
Our souls may find
A moment’s fleeting path
To follow Home

Love as life
Goes on in spite
Of unimagined
Sorrow shouldered

Heroes tall
From mountains fall
To Earth to dust
Uniting us as one

Glory lay
In ash that day
Tonight she flies
In Yankee skies

Tattered oh ever strong
Woven so to will resolve
Quilted land sewn with hands
So steadfast so firm to grasp
Onto life
