US History 1973 - 2014 Commonplace Book: Lecture 24, 9/11 (Con't)

The sky was falling and streaked with blood
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

—Bruce Springsteen, "Into the Fire" (2002)
