From the album: Gifts and Testaments of Robin Hood Road

Our 9/11 tribute.

lyrics

"The Calling"

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
