"Call the Man...he is needed here..."

Singer Celine Dion made an appearance on CNN's "Larry King Live" on Saturday, September 3rd, and she did not hold back. The often spoofed French-Canadian chanteuse, tearfully and angrily made her position very clear:

"How come it's so easy to send planes in another country to kill everyone in a second and destroy lives? We need to serve our country and for me to serve our country is to be there right now to rescue the rest of the people."

  • On her 1996 Grammy winning CD, "Falling Into You", there is a song entitled "Call the Man." If in anytime a song be an appropriate anthem to this horrible tragedy, it is this one. In a time when our nation is so divided, maybe God is calling upon humanity to unite and see HIS face in all who so desperately need our help. -Matt

    Close the door
    Shut the world away
    All the fight's gone from this wounded heart
    Across the floor
    Dreams and shadows play
    Like wind blown refugees

    Call the man
    Who deals in love beyond repair
    He can heal the world
    Of hearts in need of care
    Shine a light ahead
    When the next step is unclear
    Call the man
    He's needed here

    I close my eyes
    I remember when
    Your sweet love filled this empty room
    The tears I cry
    Won't bring it back again
    Unless the lonely star should fall

    Call the man
    Who deals in love beyond repair
    He can heal the world
    Of hearts in need of care
    Shine a light ahead
    When the next step is unclear
    Call the man
    He's needed here

    Needed in the chaos and confusion
    From the plains to city hall
    Needed where the proud who walk the wire are set to fall

    Call the man
    Who deals in once upon a time
    Maybe he
    Can mend this broken heart of mine
    Shine a light ahead
    Now the future isn't clear
    Call the man
    He's needed here
    Call the man
    He's needed here

    He's needed here
    He's needed here
    Call the man

    He's needed here
    Right here right now
