My Friend John...Fights On

I want to tell you about a friend of mine, in a fight for his life

Went to work as any other day, not knowing what was on the way

The day my friend John, and his friends, the best, became heroes

Racing across a clear blue sky, clear evil impacted a dual bullseye 

Mayhem, chaos, destruction, and murder of innocence on high

The day my friend John, and his friends, the best, became heroes

Panic ensued, a city in ruins, large mountains of rubble piled high

Clouds of debris overwhelmed the air, horror, panic, death...fear

There, before the smoke cleared, were bloodied battered heroes

The magnitude of this horrific event cannot be told viewed on TV

Only those who lived it in real time could describe such a tragedy

Only those who by a miracle lived, many now gone, many now sick

I want to tell you about a friend of mine, now in a fight for his life

Twenty-five years later this act of valor has taken a physical toll

He has always been a fighter, even now, in pain, suffering...misery

My Friend John...Fights On!
