In Memory of Those on 9/11

Verse 1

I woke up to a sky that held its breath

Morning slid through blinds across the floor

I never said the words I meant the most

Now I'm counting every name I knew before

Chorus

We carry you

We carry you

Through every dawn that found you gone

We carry you

We carry you

You were never standing still alone

Verse 2

I held onto the static of that day

The roar that swallowed every answer whole

You left your coffee on the kitchen counter

And walked into a story I can't hold

Chorus

We carry you

We carry you

Through every dawn that found you gone

We carry you

We carry you

You were never standing still alone

Bridge

Falling ash like prayers we couldn't speak

Steel and dust turned gold against the sun

I keep the phone that never rang again

For the ones whose stories still aren't done

Chorus

We carry you

We carry you

Through every dawn that found you gone

We carry you

We carry you

You were never standing still alone

Outro

We carry you

We carry you
