Artist's Statement

The song "The Rise Of Freedom" is an American original composition specifically written for the upcoming commemoration of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, as well as the 10 year anniversary of September 11, 2001. Here are the lyrics...

It is here, that we start, to rebuild, every part
Of our heart, that was torn so long ago
We would hear, see the fear, shed a tear, hold them dear
We will never, say surrender

All year long, remain strong, that is how we’ll get along
All our feelings lie here within our blood
Look upon the sea of green, so serene, so pristine
This is the American dream

BRIDGE:
Hold on to their memory forever
(Hold on!………..forever…let’s hold on!….)
Let’s celebrate their lives together
(oooooooh…………aaaaahhhhhh) to: GUITAR SOLO

CHORALE: Rise Up…Freedom (4x)
Show our faith, give us strength, let us hope, not just cope
And believe that we must carry on... carry on... to

CH: The rise…… of freedom
(The rise of freedom)
Our voices fill the air
(oooooooh, oooooooh)
The rise……of freedom
(The rise of freedom)
Take me there, take me there
(oooooooh, oooooooh)
The rise…… of freedom
(The rise of freedom)
Our voices fill the air
(oooooooh, oooooooh)
The rise……of freedom
(The rise of freedom)
Take me there, take me there
(oooooooh, oooooooh)
This hallowed ground remains forever
(oooooooh…)

(spoken) let their spirits live on……
