I heard you calling me then you disappeared into the dust
Up the stairs, into the fire
Up the stairs, into the fire
I need your kiss, but love and duty called you someplace higher
Somewhere up the stairs into the fire

May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love give us love

May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love give us love

You gave your love to see in fields of red and autumn brown
You gave your love to me and lay your young body down
Up the stairs, into the fire
Up the stairs, into the fire
I need you near but love and duty called you someplace higher
Somewhere up the stairs into the fire

May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love give us love

May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love give us love

May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love give us love

It was dark, too dark to see, you held me in the light you gave
You lay your hand on me
Then walked into the darkness of your smoky grave
Somewhere up the stairs into the fire
Somewhere up the stairs into the fire
I need your kiss, but love and duty called you someplace higher
Somewhere up the stairs into the fire

May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love give us love

May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love give us love

May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love give us love

May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love give us love

May your love give us love

It also talks about somebody going up the stairs and into the fire which means they are probably a rescue worker.

Silence (over Manhattan)

by Paula Bardell

 

A black September shadow cloaks the dawn,
The City’s once white teeth now rotting stumps,
Midst choking dusty embers ether-borne,
Its shrunken soundless heart now barely pumps.
Infernos upon retribution rise,
Fanaticism maddening the flames,
Its once imposing deities abscise,
As the faceless antagonist proclaims:
A consummation sweet but unfulfilled,
A penetrative burst without regret,
A zealous passion never to be stilled,
An earthly instinct powerful, and yet -
This bitter loathing blowing from the East,
Curtailed but could not kill the feisty beast.]]> 2016-09-13 16:51:56 UTC https://padlet.com/bjohnston5/j2vsxbmabqw0/wish/123540080 Jonathan https://padlet.com/bjohnston5/j2vsxbmabqw0/wish/123546758 This song is related to 9/11 becauseit  talked about the sky streaked with blood.

Bruce Springstein wants us to the think about the people that are dying and the people that are trying same the people that are still alive.

While writing the song, I think that Bruce Springsteen wanted the listener to think about how we can look at this tragedy on the brighter side, not just the detrimental side that everyone else was looking at.

I thought this meant that the sky was the twin towers that were falling and the blood is all of the people that died. I think he wanted us to think about how this day is viewed overall as one of the worst days in American history it also brought our country together. Everyone was supporting each other and for a day there were no shooting or violence. Also some countries across the world were all praying and wishing America to get better.

The song also says the sky was falling and streaked with blood which I think represents all of the people that died because they were stuck in the upper levels of the building and that when the building fell from the sky and they could have been bleeding. Another thing that this song said was I heard you calling for help and nobody heard them and they were left in the dust when the building collapsed. One other thing that stood out to me in the song was that it said may your strength give us strength and that made me think of the family's that lost people that need strength to overcome the people that they lost and have strength to move on and have a good rest of their life and not focus on that one moment.]]> 2016-09-13 21:26:54 UTC https://padlet.com/bjohnston5/j2vsxbmabqw0/wish/123622488 22naughtone1_1 https://padlet.com/bjohnston5/j2vsxbmabqw0/wish/123623164 This song relates to 9/11 because when he says "The sky is falling" he means that one of the biggest and tallest building(s) are crashing and falling to the ground.

This song relates to 9-11 because it says "The Sky was Streaked with blood." This could stand for the smoke and fire that filled the sky on 9-11. Bruce also says "Up the Stairs, Into the Fire" He could be talking about the fire fighters when they went up through the scorching, crumbling buildings. How they went up into the fire to save others even though the chances of death were very high. Many of those heroes lost their lives and Bruce wants us to remember them and that their strength, faith, hope, and lov will  help guide us through life. He wrote thi song so that nobody would forget any of the sacrifices they made.

This made me think of the song Who lives, who Dies, Who Tells Your story, from the musical Hamilton. Here is a passage from the song that I feel illustrates my point, "when you're gone, who remembers your name? Who keeps your flame? Who tells your story?" I think this part is important because it shows that we can't deny these people who died their stories. We have to accept what happened and tell the stories of ourselves and "keep the flame" of those who can no longer tell their own stories. Here is the link to the song on YouTube

He also says "May your strength give us strength. May your faith give us faith. May your hope give us hope. May your love give us love." I believe he is just saying that mostly everyone helped each other get through this dreadful day and it helped many people hold themselves together. Bruce Springsteen wants his listeners to think about all of the brave souls who experienced the tragic day of 9/11. They never volunteered to come there, fate just decided they would be there at the time.

This bitter loathing blowing from the East,
Curtailed but could not kill the feisty beast.]]> 2016-09-14 12:48:42 UTC https://padlet.com/bjohnston5/j2vsxbmabqw0/wish/123736333 Braden Crow https://padlet.com/bjohnston5/j2vsxbmabqw0/wish/123756459 How is
 this song connected to 9/11:

This song, at least to me, details the duty of a firefighter, police officer, search and request team, etc, on 9/11. The song also mentions the strength, faith, and hope that it took the courageous heroes to go “up the stairs, into the fire” of the burning twin towers on 9/11. That the many heroes gave their lives for duty, and were laid to rest in “smoky graves”.

What does Bruce Springsteen want listeners to think about:

I believe he wants us to think about sacrifice, honor, and duty, as well as the courage of the heroes who gave their lives on 9/11 to help others. He also wants us to think about the loss their loved ones faced.]]> 2016-09-14 13:37:39 UTC https://padlet.com/bjohnston5/j2vsxbmabqw0/wish/123756459 Josh Chu bjohnston5 https://padlet.com/bjohnston5/j2vsxbmabqw0/wish/123779238 Song related to 9.11:  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KiO2-R8yKjE ]]> 2016-09-14 14:23:44 UTC https://padlet.com/bjohnston5/j2vsxbmabqw0/wish/123779238 Autumn Casey https://padlet.com/bjohnston5/j2vsxbmabqw0/wish/123790060 This is related to 9/11 becasue it says sky is streaking a with blood and a lot of people died.  He also talks about where ever you go up or down there is fire so you were stuck.  I think he wanted us to think about all the people that died and to remember them becasue they were all good people]]> 2016-09-14 14:47:14 UTC https://padlet.com/bjohnston5/j2vsxbmabqw0/wish/123790060 Sam Bitzer bjohnston5 https://padlet.com/bjohnston5/j2vsxbmabqw0/wish/124151108 This song relates to 9.11 because throughout the song Bruce brings up scenes and incidents during 9.11, such as the sky being "streaked with blood" which is a reference. to how the skyline was covered in dust, and looked dark and menacing. He also relates this song to 9.11 when he says “up the stairs, into the fire” which is a reference to the firemen when bravely went into the tower during 9.11, many of them losing their lives in that process. Bruce Springsteen wants listeners to remember and think I about how others either had to help, or should have helped by using the lyrics “May your strength give us strength” as well as “ May your hope give us hope”.

I think that he wants us to know about the people that risked their lives to save others, we should get strength, faith, hope, and love from those who have passes in the events of 9/11. Another song about 9/11 is "Where where you when the world stopped turning?"]]> 2016-09-19 20:58:53 UTC https://padlet.com/bjohnston5/j2vsxbmabqw0/wish/124905780 Lauren Jochims https://padlet.com/bjohnston5/j2vsxbmabqw0/wish/124921009 The lyrics in the song "Into the Fire" by Bruce Springsteen resembles how we as citizens of the U.S. need to stick together and have strength for the ones that lost their lives and hope for the people who knew somebody who did. We also need to have faith and love for those that were related to or knew somebody dear to them who passed away on 9/11. Bruce is singing about how, "the sky was falling and streaked with blood" in this line of the song he wants to let us know how horrible the sky really looked. There were blood streaks in it from people exploding and dying. This song really resembles and captures the picture in vivid details about how horrible 9/11 really was. ]]> 2016-09-19 23:03:46 UTC https://padlet.com/bjohnston5/j2vsxbmabqw0/wish/124921009 https://padlet.com/bjohnston5/j2vsxbmabqw0/wish/124925656 This song connects to 9/11 because Springsteen sings, "upstairs into the fire," I think he is talking about the high stairs of the World Trade Center and people having to go up and help people. He also sings, "love and duty called you someplace higher," I think he is trying to explain the commitment and dedication the fire fighters and anyone who helped get people out of the World Trade Center had. They risked their lives to save other people and they are so respected and loved for that reason. 

My 9/11 song: The Rising by Bruce Springsteen ]]> 2016-09-19 23:51:30 UTC https://padlet.com/bjohnston5/j2vsxbmabqw0/wish/124925656 Breonna Greene https://padlet.com/bjohnston5/j2vsxbmabqw0/wish/124930818 The song is related to 9/11 because it explains what really went on that day. The song is telling us the struggle that everyone in that incident had to go through. It tells how many people really gave their lives up to help us Americans survive which is sad.

I think this song relates to 9/11 as well.  

 I got the lyrics from www.google.com

"Where were you when the world stopped turnin'
That September day?
Out in the yard with your wife and children
Or workin' on some stage in L.A.?
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke
Risin' against that blue sky?
Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor,
Or did you just sit down and cry?
Did you weep for the children, they lost their dear loved ones,
Pray for the ones who don't know?
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
And sob for the ones left below?
Did you burst out in pride for the red, white, and blue
And heroes who died just doin' what they do?
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
And look at yourself and what really matters?
I'm just a singer of simple songs.
I'm not a real political man.
I watch CNN, but I'm not sure I can tell you
The diff'rence in Iraq and Iran.
But I know Jesus and I talk to God,
And I remember this from when I was young:
Faith, hope, and love are some good things He gave us
And the greatest is love.
Where were you when the world stopped turnin'
That September day?
Teachin' a class full of innocent children
Or drivin' on some cold interstate?
Did you feel guilty 'cause you're a survivor?
In a crowded room did you feel alone?
Did you call up your mother and tell her you love her?
Did you dust off that Bible at home?
Did you open your eyes and hope it never happened,
Close your eyes and not go to sleep?
Did you notice the sunset for the first time in ages
And speak to some stranger on the street?
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow,
Go out and buy you a gun?
Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watchin'
And turn on ""I Love Lucy"" reruns?
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some stranger,
Stand in line to give your own blood?
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your fam'ly,
Thank God you had somebody to love?
I'm just a singer of simple songs.
I'm not a real political man.
I watch CNN, but I'm not sure I can tell you
The diff'rence in Iraq and Iran.
But I know Jesus and I talk to God,
And I remember this from when I was young:
Faith, hope, and love are some good things He gave us
And the greatest is love.
I'm just a singer of simple songs.
I'm not a real political man.
I watch CNN, but I'm not sure I can tell you
The diff'rence in Iraq and Iran.
But I know Jesus and I talk to God,
And I remember this from when I was young:
Faith, hope, and love are some good things He gave us
And the greatest is love.
And the greatest is love,
And the greatest is love.
Where were you when the world stopped turnin'
That September day?

by Hannah Schoechert, 7th grade student

Those twin towers
Standing tall with pride,
Fell with grieving hearts.
Stunned, America cried.

But we’re still standing.

Bin Laden tried
To crush our land,
But we stood our ground
With our flag in hand.

And we’re still standing.

Red for valor
And the blood that fell.
White for purity
Our heroes tell.
Blue for the justice
That will be done,
Proving once more
These colors don’t run.

And we’re still standing.
