My name is Mark Nelson I am career fire fighter (IAFF Local 1664) in Montgomery County, Maryland just outside of WAshington, DC.
When I am not wearing the hat of fire fighter, I am a musician and recording engineer.
As a result of the attacks on September 11, 2001, I rewrote the lyrics and recorded the song "Knocking on Heaven's Door" in my home recording studio.
I also called on some local musician friends to help me with my efforts.
The end result was has been described as a very marketable product.
Every cent of the money raised will go to will go to the New York Fire Fighters 9-11 relief fund that has been established by the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF).
I am not seeking any personal monetary gain at all, nor are those who helped me record the song.
I want to help the families of my fellow fire fighters who gave the ultimate and supreme sacrifice on September 11, 2001.
Here are the re-written lyrics
Mama please explain to me
Why I can't see you anymore
Bad men have taken you from me
Feels like I'm knocking on heaven's door
Chorus (4 times) KNOCK KNOCK KNOCKING ON HEAVENS DOOR
Solo
I hear that help is coming for me
Will I see you again? I'm not sure
These people will do their best for me
But I might be knockin on heaven's door
Chorus, Solo
Mama this message for you is from me
I will not see you anymore
And to the one's who did this to me
You won't be knocking on heaven's door
Chorus End

Knocking On Heaven's Door
author: Jeffrey Len Duke
I loved the original recording of this song by Bob Dylan and would sing it when I would here about the sudden death of an innocent by-stander(s). Mark Nelson's version of this song really touched my heart in a way I never felt before hearing just this sampler. This should be dedicated all innocently fallen along with those who have fallen in the line of duty. An may "Heaven's Door" be opened unto them who are "Knock, Knock, Knocking"

I just cried hearing it, and after finding this cd on here and listening to it over and over, it's just one of those you just can't get tired of hearing.. It still touches my heart the same way as that first time I ever heard it..
