Lyrics
The day the world changed It took us by surprise
Fire bombs flying over crystal clear blue skies
And life will never be the same
Deep on the inside we are changed
And everybody is crying over New York City
And no one can believe that this is true
America has always been the free world
And New York City is a piece of me and you
Call me a dreamer but I still believe in love
When it all comes crashing down I reach far above
And I know this will make us stronger
If you take my hand we can't go wrong
Take my hand
And everybody is crying over New York City
And no one can believe that this is true
America has always been the free world
And New York City is a piece of me and you
They shut out all the lights down on Broadway
The keyboard player say she don't wanna sing
They're still digging bodies out of the wreckage
A mother waits by a telephone that may never ring
And everybody is crying over New York City
And no one can believe that this is true
America has always been the free world
And New York City is a piece of me and you
New York City is a piece of me and you
