Description

Godwin Carmona is a talented singer/songwriter. His debut work "You Save Me," is a moving tribute to the victims and the heroes of the September 11 tragedy.

" This song came to me as I thought of those victims of September 11th who in their last moments, called their loved ones to say good-bye and express their love. One man in particular - who left the following message for his wife on their answering machine - will always linger in my head: Please be happy. Please live your life. That's an order.'

I wanted to share this song because I hope it might be, in some way, a source of solace to many in these difficult times. Right now, I believe we all need to support and comfort each other as best as we can, and this is the best way I can. The song is called You Save Me, and it is dedicated to all those lost in the September 11th attack and their loved ones."
--Godwin Carmona, October 2001
New York

This new CD single not only gives homage to the 9/11 victims and their families but is an anthem celebrating the power of unconditional love. It sings praise to the gift of love which heals the heart and prepares us for our passing without fear.

"You Save Me" was produced by Tom and Yvonne Schuman for JazzBridge Music. It contains three versions of the emotion-filled song: 1. Pop/World Version; 2. Smooth Jazz Version; and, 3. Folk Version. We decided to release three versions in order to reach as many people as possible with the healing power of this music.


LYRICS

You Save Me
(Music & Lyrics by Godwin Carmona) 2001
Dedicated to the heroes and the victims of the September 11 attack
September 16, 2001, New York, NY

Verse 1
As I pass through this cruelest of nights
Compelled to ask if the world's lost its mind
Just when I think I'm pinned in by the fright
All is still
And fears subside
cause I realize that...

Chorus
You save me
With the gift of love you gave
To hold my head up in the dark and
You save me
With the gift of love you gave to heal this heart

Verse 2
When I reel from the stories I'm told
Overcome as pictures take hold
Just when all I say seems a desperate reply
I find the will
And fears subside
cause I realize that...

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3
As I sift through the sadness that surrounds
Too numb, too broken to utter a sound
Just when I think I'm never coming round
All is still
I have to try
cause I realize that...
