    STAIRS TO HEAVEN

    The sky was crystal clear when you dropped me
    Off at school that day
    You smiled and said "I love you, angel"
    And I watched you drive away.

    That was the last time I saw my hero
    I was ten years old
    Visions of those blackened skies
    Etched deep within my soul

    Wasn't yet a teenager
    No longer just a kid
    They ruined all the plans we made
    By the evil that they did
    When I close my eyes I see your face
    And know that all is well
    You climbed the stairs to Heaven
    The day the towers fell

    I had told all my friends my Dad
    Would've coached our soccer team
    I know you would've warned my dates
    They'd better treat me like a queen

    That Ol' Teddy Bear you gave me
    Chased the monsters from my dreams
    He's all worn and tattered now
    Splitting at the seams

    Wasn't yet a teenager
    No longer just a kid
    They ruined all the plans we made
    By the evil that they did
    When I close my eyes I see your face
    And know that all is well
    You climbed the stairs to Heaven
    The day the towers fell

    You taught me about courage
    And selfless sacrifice
    When you faced those fiery towers
    To save those strangers lives

    Without hesitation I knew
    What I had to do
    Raised my right hand, took the oath
    Dad I did it for you

    Wasn't yet a teenager
    No longer just a kid
    They ruined all the plans we made
    By the evil that they did
    When I close my eyes I see your face
    And know that all is well
    You climbed the stairs to Heaven
    The day the towers fell

    Writing in the desert heat
    About danger in the sand
    My story told in this dusty journal
    I penned in my own hand

    I know one day I'll see you, Dad
    But I promise until then
    I'll be strong, keep pressing on
    Until we meet again

    Wasn't yet a teenager
    No longer just a kid
    They ruined all the plans we made
    By the evil that they did
    When I close my eyes I see your face
    And know that all is well
    You climbed the stairs to Heaven
    The day the towers fell

    My Daddy was a Fireman
    The day the towers fell
