    I was driving down Fowler Ave and had to pull over when this song began. I have never cried so hard in my life. My brother lost someone very special in 9/11 and this song brought chills all over again. We will never forget and this song is such a sad reminder of that day. That father should be so proud of his daughter.. She has grown up to be a beautiful young woman. Now where can I download it at?

    Wow! I love this song! I lost my dad 6 months ago and this realy touched me!

  • levi mercer

    i was on my way to school today when i heard this song. there is a few times in my life when i have cried. the most recent times has been when i first say my family when i came home from over seas, and when i heard my Grandpas last words before he past away. i didn’t lose anyone close to me on 9/11 and this song made me cry so much i had to pull over.

  • Morgan

    I love everyone who lost someone on that day :,) I’ve cried every time I’ve listened to it, and it’s going on ten times now I think. It’s such a haunting song, and I love it.

  • Tracy Kissell

    This song is so touching. I’ll never forget that day. My children were at school and I had to call to make sure they were ok. I was at my neighbors and saw it on the news. I screamed and asked where Bush & Cheney were. I cried so hard. I ran home and told my husband to turn on the radio. I called my mom and asked if she was ok. I asked her if she had talked to my dad and she assured me that he was fine.
    Like I said…I’ll never forget. I feel so bad for the friends & loved ones that were affected by the loss of someone close to them.
    GOD BLESS AMERICA LAND THAT I LOVE!!!

  • A Proud American

    What an incredibly heartbreaking yet touching song. I can hardly believe it’s been 10 years since we lost so many, it still feels like yesterday. Thank you for sharing this touching song with us. God Bless to all our armed forces fighting for our country and God speed in coming home. God bless all the families that lost a loved one in this horribly tragedy. To all that were lost, you will NEVER be forgotten.

  • Samantha Hyland

    Although this song is about 9-11 it has touched me on a whole nother level. My 15 mo old son’s father walked out on us for drugs and to sleep around,. This song dropped me to my knees b.c I don’t want him to go through what that little girl did. Not having her daddy there with him. God Bless those families who lost loved ones in 9-11. It is truly a day heaven cried

  • melissa

    How do I get this song? can I buy it? please let me know

  • Richard

    My heart goes out to those who loved and lost on that day. May all fanaticism end and may we all respect each other. I hugged my children tight after hearing this.
