Testo 25 Years Later, We Still Remember - Hackeboda
Testo della canzone 25 Years Later, We Still Remember (Hackeboda), tratta dall'album 25 Years Later, We Still Remember
September morning
Blue sky over New York City
Nobody knew the world was about to change forever
He kissed his wife under the kitchen light
Grabbed his coat and said, "I'll see you tonight"
A little boy waving from his Mother's side
Nobody knew he'd never come home at all
Downtown waking like any other day
Coffee carts steaming while the trains all rolled away
Then the sky turned black and the sirens cried
And brave men ran in while the whole world watched outside
Now it's twenty five years gone
But the memory still holds on
Names carved deep in cold gray stone
Families still trying to carry on
And every falling tear still says
Their sacrifice must never fade
They gave their lives to save somebody else
So we remember them today
A firefighter climbing endless stairs
With smoke and fear hanging in the air
Calling home just to say goodbye
Still trying to calm the fear inside
A brave young cop held a stranger's hand
Said "keep moving forward, do the best you can"
Some never made it back through the dust and flame
But heaven still remembers every single name
Now it's twenty five years gone
But the memory still holds on
Pictures fading but the love remains
In every heart still carrying pain
And every child that grew up without
A father there to help them out
Still hears the stories brave souls made
On that September day
The flags still fly when the autumn comes
Church bells ring for the daughters and sons
And somewhere in New York tonight
A mother still leaves the porch light on
Now it's twenty five years gone
But the heroes still live on
In every badge and every firehouse wall
In every prayer whispered when night falls
And may we never lose the truth
About the ones who carried others through
Their sacrifice must never fade away
May we remember them always
Twenty five years later
The smoke is gone
But our sorrow still remains
