Though this ballad is dedicated to the heroes of September 11, we hope that you will consider using it to honor the heroes in your own world as well. Firefighters, policemen, rescue workers, veterans - anyone who has ever put their life on the line for others deserves to be recognized and honored. And many times, heroes are just regular folks like us who find themselves in extraordinary circumstances.

We have recorded this song a number of ways to offer you flexibility for your own purposes. All versions have a very lush orchestration that includes rhythm, winds, and strings, which helps the tune build beautifully.

What can we say to a hero? We can say thank you. (from Music K-8, Vol. 12, No. 4)
