Chorus: Let the flame of every heart rise up to you,
So bright, so pure, so clear.
And may all our highest hopes
And dreams come true
Through you, our love so dear.
How can we ever praise you,
Light within our mind?
How can we ever thank you,
Joy within our heart?
How can we give our blessings to you,
You who are all grace within our lives?
Come, let us offer our love
To the wellspring of all love.
Come, let us offer our joy
To the fountainhead of joy.
Come, let us offer all our blessings
To the waterfall of all grace.
September 11th

This is a song lyric based on a true story about 9/11
On September the 11th, we will not forget the year
At ten in the morning, there were planes still in the air
All of them were commanded to land straight away
This is what happened, to one of those planes that day.
Delta Flight Fifteen, from Frankfurt, Atlanta bound
Looked for an airport, the closest one they found
Gander, up in Newfoundland, four hundred miles away
Granted them permission to land their plane that day
The captain told the passengers the little that he knew
Gasps of shock and disbelief greeted his sad news
Then there was just silence, what was there to say?
Many tears and folded hands and prayers said that day.
This kind of love
This kind of caring
Is like the blood that’s in our veins
It warms us with its course
An endless flowing circle
Nourishing every moment
It always comes straight from the heart and goes back to its source.
The people at Gander airport made sure everyone was fed
No small achievement, when they hadn’t known ahead
That more than fifty planes, bound for the USA
Would be stranded unexpectedly in Gander that day
Gander and the nearby towns, were all put to the test
They didn’t have hotels for seven thousand guests
They opened churches, schools and homes for everyone to stay
Welcomed everyone who dropped in from the sky that day
The people on Delta Flight Fifteen were housed in Lewisporte
They all were treated warmly, they were offered much support
Their hosts took them fishing, showed them Notre Dame Bay,
Some even took them moose hunting in the next few days.
People who live in Lewisporte, they don’t have much to spare
But they gave all that was theirs to give, and willingly did share
Home is where the heart is, we’ve all heard the cliché
The folks in Gander and Lewisporte, proved it true those days.
When Delta Flight Fifteen, took off Friday afternoon
A passenger stood up and said, “I know we’ll be home soon.
But before we go back to our lives, I’d like to find a way
To thank the folks of Lewisporte for what they did these days.”
“I’ll set up a trust fund, to send some of their kids to school
If you’d all like to contribute, our money we could pool.”
Fourteen thousand dollars, with more on the way
The people on Delta Flight Fifteen contributed that day.
