FIRE IN THE SKY (9/11 and After)
c 2002 Karen Watson

VERSE 1 Fire in the sky!
Burning through metal, melting illusion away.
Clouds in the streets!
Chasing the innocent, choking the clear light of day.
If those walls
Can fall down,
Where can we go now?
Where can we go now?

CHORUS We can fly,
On wings of compassion,
Way above the borders, We can fly.
Just like an eagle, trusting in God,
We can fly; Higher than a fire in the sky,
We can fly.

VERSE 2 Eyes full of pain,
Searching through ruins, fearing decisions to come;
Fires in the night,
Chasing the innocent, wasting the world that was home
Now that fear
Clouds our view,
What else can we do?
What else can we do?

CHORUS

BRIDGE “Oh, say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave . . . ?
Are we still free enough to ride upon a holy wind?
Are we still brave enough to walk a new direction?

CHORUS
