Remember the day
The first signs of trouble
The dust and the rubble
Unspeakable loss
Remember the day
The courage and valor
That ran to the towers at such a great cost
Remember the day
How we were shaken
That our hearts awaken to what matters most
And remember that day
Remember the day
Oh remember
Remember the day
The flags that were waving
There's something awakened in our broken hearts
And remember the way
A flood of compassion
Swept through our nation
And lit up the dark
And remember the day
That brought us together
And showed us the power we have when we're one
And remember the day
Remember the day
Oh remember
Remember
Remember the day
The scarred and the broken
The words left unspoken
The songs left unsung
Remember to pray
For comfort and healing
For wisdom in leading
'Till the journey is done
And remember the way
We look past what divides us
Find the light inside us and let that light shine
And remember the day
Remember how we've been changed
And remember that day
As we carry on
Oh remember

Song Meaning
This song is a poignant reflection on a day of profound loss and the resilience that followed. It opens with vivid imagery of rubble and unspeakable loss, then pivots to honor the courage and valor of those who rushed toward danger. The lyrics trace a collective awakening—how hearts were shaken into recognizing what truly matters, how flags waved and a flood of compassion swept through the nation, lighting up the darkness. It celebrates the unity that emerged from tragedy, the power found in coming together as one. Yet the song doesn't shy away from the ongoing scars, the unspoken words, and unsung songs. It turns to prayer as a source of comfort, healing, and wisdom for the journey ahead. The call to remember is not just about looking back but about carrying forward the change—letting the light inside us shine and looking past what divides us. It's a meditation on memory, grief, and the redemptive possibility of hope, urging us to hold onto the lessons of that day as we continue on.
