Song For Rosa


The one thing I remember of that clear September day
Was how my world seemed so at peace from where I stood
As I looked out at the city where I had come to stay
My life was turning out just the way it should

I was thinking about my future when Hell broke through the sky
Desperation, fear and panic hit the ground
I saw life turn into tragedy in the blinking of an eye
The world I thought I knew turned upside down

    I sing this song for Rosa, "Te echo de menos, mi amor" *
    I thought one day I would marry her, but that can be no more
    I sing this song for everyone who�s dreams were blown away
    In a gust of wind that clear September day

Life is like a flower, fragile in a way
In a gust of wind its petals Heaven bound
That�s what I remember thinking on that clear September day
As I watched the towers tumble to the ground

    I sing this song for Rosa, "Te echo de menos, mi amor" *
    I thought one day I would marry her, but that can be no more
    I sing this song for everyone who�s dreams were blown away
    In a gust of wind that clear September day

I sing this song for everyone who�s dreams were blown away
In a gust of wind that clear September day

* (I miss you, my love)
