For Dad

lyrics

Sitting in your chair
Covered in ash
We saw it on the TV
You heard the second crash
Ran for your life
When the towers came down
I'm glad you made it home
I’m glad you're still around

We never talked about that day
The world was changed
You were stuck in place
I wish I could have helped you
But that's the way it goes
Another story that no one knows

The years went by
They read the names
Some wounds never heal
You learn to live with the pain
But the pain was too much
You couldn’t wash it away
I watched it almost kill you
But you're still here today

We never talked about that day
The world was changed
You were stuck in place
I wish I could have helped you
But that's the way it goes
Another story that no one knows

Sitting in your chair
There's a rain delay
No more sirens and ashes
No more running away
I hope you know that we love you
When memory fades
You'll always be a hero
For showing up that day
