i came to see you again today
did you see me standing there
i stood there for hours by your grave
this has been such a nightmare--

i've been told i must get on with life
but they just don't understand
i wasn't ready to say good-bye
taken from me by madmen--

we worked together for all these years
the brother i never had
in you i confided hope and fears
i hope your killers are glad--

they don't realize how much you meant
how precious you were to me
your death i find abhorent
you died, leading others to safety--

i freaked, when i saw it on the news
i was at home, sick in bed
that awful day, when terror ensued
oh, God...how many are dead?

a fireman, one hell of a man
my partner, friend, my brother
buddy, you were superman
i was the one to tell your mother--

you were murdered when the towers fell
what were your last moments like
can't help but think, it must have been hell
goddammit, i miss you, mike--
