On September 11th, when the attacks of terror came
Our country's freedom was at stake and things were not the same
Emergency workers, firefighters, and police were on the scene
Digging through the ashes and cleaning the debris
And when they died and lost their lives, on that very day.
We all were broken hearted, it's very sad to say
And so with praise and gratitude, this song of positivity is just for you
Chorus
So here's to our heroes, the ones who save us from danger
Here's to our heroes, the ones who died and got injured
We honor you with pride; you're always on our side
Whenever we need help. Here's to our heroes
At Metro Tech that day when we sang for all the firemen
To honor those who died that very day on 9-11
To all the souls that died in action, on that very day
The names of them will all be carved up for those who passed away
And for those who are remaining, you've made us very proud
We thank you all sincerely, as your sirens scream out loud
And as I sing this song to you, these words are coming straight from my heart to yours
Chorus
So here's to our Heroes, the ones who save us from danger
Here's to our heroes, the ones who died and got injured
Their work is never done. Each day is 9-1-1
Whenever we need help, here's to our heroes
Bridge:
So when you fall asleep tonight, be sure to say your prayers
And pray for all those citizens, the ones who passed away
Chorus:
So here's to our Heroes, the ones who save us from danger
Here's to our heroes, the ones who died and got injured
They'll keep us safe from harm
No matter where we are, every night and day
Here's to our Heroes, the ones who save us from danger
Here's to our Heroes, the ones who died and got injured
We honor you with pride. You're always on our side
Their work is never done. Each day is 9-11
Whenever we need help, here's to our heroes
