Story behind the song
Howard Lutnick had to drop his child off at school, so his life was spared on Sept. 11th. But he lost many of his employees at Cantor Fitzgerald. In the beginning he took criticism from some, but his love shone through as he remained strong and reached out to help the many familes left behind.
Lyrics
"American Businessman"(Doing everything he can) Cantor Fitzgerald-honoring Howard Lutnick He went in late- to work that day Dropped his little boy off-along the way When he arrived-how it hurt to stay The Pain so Hard to Bear____ Employees trapped-almost everywhere Leaping from buildings-running down the stairs There was no way out-only gloom and despair He was Overcome--with care____ The world called him tough-a big businessman Yet his soul was moved--could not understand The great loss of life-to a self-serving plan His Feelings--real and true____ Like a rock he was strong-but I saw him weak Emotion so flowed -he could hardly speak Tears of compassion-rolled down his cheeks For he knew- not what- to do_____ Horror and shock-down deep in his eyes A sad broken heart-for victims who died An American spirit-to those who survived But he proudly- took a stand_____ Seven hundred plus-as gone with the wind His business was lost-must rebuild again If he finds success-he'll still be their friend "American Businessman"--doing everything he can_____ Families look to him for a kind and helping hand But everything is gone-Lord,please help them understand He's giving his very all--to create a sharing plan "American businessman"--doing everything he can_____ WE SALUTE AND HONOR THIS MAN HE STANDS OUT IN THE CROWD FOR DOING WHAT HE CAN HE MAKES THIS NATION PROUD The "American Businessman"--doing everything he can____ copyright iris harden Oct.1st,2001 2:56AM written from my hospital bed
