Written on Friday September 14, 2001
in response to our nations tragedy of September 11, 2001

Like many Americans, Jon Nolan struggled to find a way to express his deep sorrow in the wake of last week’s terrorist attacks.

“I felt as everyone felt . . . I felt angry,” Nolan said.

On Sept. 14, the Newmarket musician sat down with a pen and a brown paper bag ...... He began to write a song on that paper bag to pay tribute to the thousands of innocent lives lost in the attacks....after 12 long hours, Nolan had turned his thoughts into music.

Following are the lyrics to ELEVEN SEPTEMBER

Stand with us Father, our eyes are deceived
Horrors before us we cannot conceive
All to Manhattan the world's eyes did turn
Along with our fury the towers did burn.

All through the city went out the alarm
Firemen and comp'nies ran straight into harm
Precincts and ambulances to the scene
All understanding the danger it means.

First word from victims from stairways they fled
"Jakes" with their hoses climbed upward instead
Bravery not seen since on Normandy's shores
Upward they charged to the fiery floors.

Only to heal and to comfort they toiled
The plans of the doctors and officers spoiled
When from on high came a tremendous roar
Two towers and six thousand souls were no more.

Also in Washington hell from the skies
Smoke filled the air while the tears filled our eyes
Aloft was a gloriously mutinous lot
Who saved untold numbers when boldly they fought.

Let none forget you our tragically lost
Let us bear witness to freedom's great cost
Who test our mettle let these words be clear
Cowards cannot make America fear.

Tall from the tangle of steel and of stone
Proudly the Stars and the Stripes they are flown
O'er every color and creed it did wave
The land of the free and the home of the brave.
