LYRICS
SILENT CANNONS
1. I woke up this morning and read the news,
with tears in my eyes for the ones we lose,
Will freedom come from their sacrifice?
I hope for a morning with a silent dawn,
when all is quiet then theyıll be home
for now they watch throughout the night.
Silent cannons salute to freedom.
Treasure the peace, life is a pearl,
hear the silence throughout the world.
CHORUS:
A salute to those who serve to keep our country free,
A salute to peace and hope and the ring of liberty,
A salute to the victory that will bring us together again
A salute of whispered quiet rings,
from Silent Cannons.
2. So many lost, but whatıve we won,
are the struggles over or just begun,
Please come home soon, a mother cries.
Silent Cannons echo with peace,
over the mountains, in the streets,
beyond the oceans a rising tide.
Silent cannons salute to freedom.
A salute to all we can achieve,
Stand up and shout for what you believe.
CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
We need you there, but we want you back,
been so scared, since that fatal attack,
the world has changed, itıs a different place,
tears of pain on a childıs face.
CHORUS:

BE HERE NOW
words and music by Thomas Beckner
1. If ever there was a guardian angel,
beside me, to guide me,
Be Here Now, Be Here Now,
I feel your presence whenever I call,
watch through the night, shine your light,
Be Here Now, Be Here Now,
You are a father, a sister, a friend,
gone but you are here, I feel you near,
hold my hand.
CHORUS: Be Here Now, Be here to guide me
Be Here Now, ride beside me,
Be Here Now, seek what I hide in me,
Be Here Now, speak and confide in me.
Be Here Now, Here to console me,
Be Here Now, shape and mold me,
Be Here Now, answer this call for me,
Be Here Now, angel please hold me.
Be Here Now,
2. I see the footprints we leave in the sand,
please walk with me, and talk with me,
Be Here Now, Be Here Now,
If times of trouble should be in Godıs plan,
then carry me, pray, never leave,
Be Here Now, Be Here Now,
Under your wing shelter me my friend,
Now I feel like I can touch the sky,
hold my hand.
CHORUS:
İ2000 Thomas Beckner
