I am sharing a song if it...

> Moved me (for some reason or another)...> Is a treasure that I just want to share...> Is just something that I like to listen to...
NOTE: I am not receiving any compensation for spotlighting these songs. I did not write them, sing them or own them... I am just sharing with others who may love music too.
"Tuesday Morning"
Performed by Melissa Etheridge
Written by Jon Craig Taylor, Melissa Etheridge
This song has been on my playlist for quite a few years now...
It talks about Flight 93 which was hijacked on September 11, 2001 during the attacks on America...
And though we have made much progress in the LGBTQ+ movement since 2001, it is a good reminder for me that we still have work to do.
Lyrics:
Up and down this road I go
Skippin' and dodgin'
From a 44
Skippin' and dodgin'
From a 44
10:03 on a Tuesday morning
In the fall of an American dream
A man is doing what he knows is right
On flight 93
He loved his mom and he loved his dad
He loved his home and he loved his man
But on that bloody Tuesday morning
He died an American
In the fall of an American dream
A man is doing what he knows is right
On flight 93
He loved his mom and he loved his dad
He loved his home and he loved his man
But on that bloody Tuesday morning
He died an American
Now you cannot change this
You can't erase this
You can't pretend this is not the truth
You can't erase this
You can't pretend this is not the truth
Even though he could not marry
Or teach your children in our schools
Because who he wants to love
Is breaking your Gods' rules
He stood up on a Tuesday morning
In the terror he was brave
And he made his choice
And without a doubt
A hundred lives he must have saved
Or teach your children in our schools
Because who he wants to love
Is breaking your Gods' rules
He stood up on a Tuesday morning
In the terror he was brave
And he made his choice
And without a doubt
A hundred lives he must have saved
And the things you might take for granted
Your inalienable rights
Some might chose to deny him
Even though he gave his life
Can you live with yourself in the land of the free
And make him less of a hero than the other three
Well it might begin to change ya
In a field in Pennsylvania
Your inalienable rights
Some might chose to deny him
Even though he gave his life
Can you live with yourself in the land of the free
And make him less of a hero than the other three
Well it might begin to change ya
In a field in Pennsylvania
