THE SONGWRITER - TERRY HOKNES
911 had such an impact on Terry Hoknes that shortly after the tragedy he flew to NYC to film footage of the ruins, and the memorials posted throughout New York.  This footage is now seen for the first time ever in the new music video for the song "ALWAYS IN MY MEMORY" that Terry composed shortly after the 911 tragedy.  He waited 10 years for the timing to be right to promote his song.  The song's lyrics are from the point of view of a child who never knew her own father or the tragic way he died trying to save others at the World Trade Center.   "It's important that 10 years later we still remember this tragic event and continue to pay tribute to those real life heroes who sacrificed their lives to help make life better for others." 

Terry not only composed the song, but also played all the instruments on the recording as he is a multi-instrumentalist who has been nominated as musician of the year 17 different times in his home province of Saskatchewan, Canada.   He is a full-time entertainer and has performed throughout the world.  He also promotes his own music online and he also produces and directs/produces his own music videos   Click here for his complete bio

SONG LYRICS:
GRANDPA ROCKING IN HIS CHAIR
CLUTCHING A PHOTO OF DAYS GONE BY
HE'S NEVER SAID TOO MUCH ABOUT IT
AND I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED WHY

WHO WERE THOSE MEN - SMILING IN THAT SHOT?
I'VE HEARD - STORIES ABOUT THE DAY
THE TOWERS CRASHED - AND THE FIRE THEY FOUGHT

CHORUS: (MY FATHER) WAS THERE
THAT SAD SAD DAY
AND I NEVER GOT TO SHAKE HIS HAND
OR SAY GOODBYE
HE'LL ALWAYS BE A PART OF ME
AND HE'S ALWAYS IN MY MEMORY

TODAY I DECIDED - TO ASK GRANDPA ABOUT THAT DAY
HE BROUGHT OUT THE PICTURE
A TEAR IN HIS EYE WHEN HE BEGAN TO SAY
ALL THESE MEN HAD DIED - TOGETHER ON THIS DAY
THEY DID THEIR CALL OF DUTY - AS THEY HELPED SAVE OTHER LIVES

CHORUS: (YOUR FATHER)
SOLO:

SOME DAYS I'M AMAZED - AT THE SACRIFICE THEY MADE
I LOOK UP TO THOSE - MEN WHO DIED THAT DAY
I KNOW I'M NOT ALONE - IN HONOURING THESE MEN
AND I KNOW BECAUSE OF THEM WE'RE MUCH SAFER IN OUR LAND

CHORUS: (OUR FATHERS)
HE'S ALWAYS IN MY MEMORY
