"As
we remember 9/11, we are reminded of the many ways in which our
livesand our worldhave changed. As a Songwriter, I felt
the need to put into words the presence of the unique hope and strength
we can have in a oneness of inner purpose.
Compelled to express my feelings,
I was inspired to write "The Call"©.
This powerful and timeless message of healing and unity is one to
share with the world. As it directs us to both our innate resourcefulness
and our highest ideals, we can finally reach out across barriers
of hate, intolerance, and fear and take the chance in a new way
to become a nation that can truly be free!
This song is my gift to my countryand
to the world."

The
eleventh of September, the year two-thousand-one.
We were wakened from our warm and peaceful sleep
The world as we had known it would never be the same
For the pain that we had suffered was so deep.
We held each other tightly and
did not stop to judge
The color of the hand that we were holding.
We cried in every language, and prayed in every faith
And some could see a new world was unfolding.
From a farm in Indiana to a village
in Nepal
In each synagogue and mosque and church
God listens to us all.
Theres a light thats ever shining
That nothing can forestall
God Bless Us All.
In one defining moment we were
shaken to the core
By a hatred that we just did not foresee.
Now we have the opportunity to rise above it all.
And become a world where all are truly free.
Free from hate and ignorance, intolerance,
and fear.
We can build a world that shines so bright.
Lets open up our hearts to the possibilities.
And walk in faith out of our darkest night. |
|
From
the smallest towns and villages,
To the cities standing tall.
From the mightiest of mighty to the smallest of the small,
We will walk away much stronger, if we listen to THE CALL
God Bless Us All.
From a farm in Indiana to a village
in Nepal,
In each synagogue and mosque and church
God listens to us all.
Theres a light thats ever shining
That nothing can forestall
God Bless Us All.
