ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN—In just a few days the country will be remembering the attacks that happened 20 years ago on September 11, 2001.  Award-winning Michigan singer/songwriter Kitty Donohoe channeled her feelings that day into a song, There Are No Words.  Ms. Donohoe has just released the official video of the song, which can be watched on Facebook, You TubeVimeo on Demand and www.kittydonohoe.com.

This powerful music has had an amazing grassroots journey; it received a Michigan Emmy,

In the years since that unforgettable day in 2001, Kitty has made her song available free to anyone who wished to download it though her Web site, and it has touched thousands of lives.  You can read the entire lyrics and more about the song at this page

"One of the comments I received most often then was that the song was expressing for people what they couldn't say for themselves," Donohoe said. "I consider it an honor as a songwriter to be able to fill that role for others."

There Are No Words is included in Kitty Donohoe's CD, "Northern Border," which is available at the Music page online at www.kittydonohoe.com.  The lyrics to the song include these words:

We were forged in freedom, we were born in liberty

We came here to stop the twisted arrows cast by tyranny

And we won't bow down, we are strong of heart

We are a chain together that won't be pulled apart
