The lyrics and sentiment of this song always bring back the horrible memories of that day, but also give me hope for the future.
This song was inspired by the photo of Father Mychal Judge (RIP), Chaplain of the FDNY & first victim of Sept 11, being carried out on a chair by emergency responders. It is a gorgeous and haunting song, and Mary's voice is powerful. She also sang at Father Judges memorial service, so it is fitting that she further commemorates him and the massive loss of that day.

"...ring that bell of freedom, louder than the drums of war..."
