“Most people have moved on, but the people directly involved with 9/11, for them, twice a day it’s 9/11.” – Robert Reeg, former FDNY firefighter

Two decades after 9-11, 7th grader Levi Johnson was thinking about the first responders who entered a building on the verge of collapse to save anyone they could. Of the 2,977 victims killed in the September 11 attacks, 421 were emergency workers responding to the World Trade Center. This included: 343 firefighters (including a chaplain and two paramedics) of the FDNY.

The sacrifices of first responders didn't stop there: Since then, another 306 firefighters, emergency service technicians, officers and paramedics have died from diseases contracted from working the smoking pile of metal, glass and rubble at the site, according to the Uniformed Firefighters Association.

LYRICS:
The morning of September eleven
Some planes went off the grid
They flew to go to heaven
To heaven is where they did skid
woa, woa, woa, woa, woa, woa, woa, woa

Running into shadow
Trying to bring light
Knowing that they might go
Into the darkest night
woa, woa, woa, woa, woa, woa, woa, woa

Firefighters in the building
Helping others out of the way
This was just the beginning
So people were out and away
woa, woa, woa, woa, woa, woa, woa, woa

Running into shadow
Trying to bring light
Knowing that we might go
Into the darkest night
woa, woa, woa, woa, woa, woa, woa, woa

Walking out of shadow
Having held a light
Having known we will go
Into the darkest night
woa, woa, woa, woa, woa, woa, woa, woa
