Sept. 11

It's September 11th. I can't stop remembering...
I was teaching that day. when the towers came down i watched it with my principal. We were all in tears. No one knew what to do, or say. I still don't.


Sacred Ground

tune and lyrics by Rita Nauman

There is no tune; there is no song
I sit in silence all day long
The two towers burned, then they came down
Thousands died, now it’s sacred ground

Chorus:
What can we build on such a property?
So much blood spilled; how do we treat it properly?

Heroic men and women too
Fought to do what they should do
They took that plane and brought it round
40 died, now it’s sacred ground

Chorus

Soldiers too, they died that day
Firefighters and police that way
Others died and can't be found
Now all that's left is sacred ground

Chorus

I think back to that day and time
I hug my children so glad they’re mine
So many others can’t do that now
Their only place is sacred ground

Chorus

There is no tune; there is no song
I sit in silence all day long
So many died are we not bound
To now declare this Sacred Ground?

Chorus

There is no tune; there is no song
I sit in silence all day long
So many died are we not bound
To now declare this Sacred Ground?

There is no tune; there is no song
I sit in silence all day long......
