The Other Way By: Marc A. Turner Copyright © 2002
No matter how it happens… to whom, or what, or where There are those special people who always seem to be right there
You know the ones of whom I speak, they do it every day When people flee from smoke and fire… they go… the other way
Never was it better shown, then on that September clear blue morning Heroes crowded Heaven’s Gate… as the world changed without a warning
Hordes of people, in a stampeding mass… running to get away The Heroes went just as fast… but they went… the other way
I remember watching on TV, the crowds and chaos flooding by And all those flashing lights… racing towards their place to die
For many, their shift over, were headed home to call it a day But they had a date with destiny… so they went... the other way
So many were taken from us on that day America suffered the attacks But many more were saved, because of those Hero’s selfless acts
So now, as we all take in the setting sun, as it closes out another day... Take a second from your life to think of those, who go... the other way.
