Lyrics
CRY
(c) 2001 Ron Chassner
VS
AS THE SMOKE RISES UP, WITH THE SOULS OF MANHATTAN
AND THE SUN SETS ON ANOTHER DAY
IN A RIVER OF TEARS, FOR THOSE WHO WON'T BE FORGOTTEN
FLOAT MEMORIES THAT ALWAYS WILL STAY
IN CONCRETE AND STEEL, HIGH OVER HEAD.
PEOPLE NOT KNOWING THEIR FATE
TERROR CAME FROM THE SKY, ON THE SYMBOL OF FREEDOM
BROUGHT DOWN BY THE POWER OF HATE
CHORUS:
AND I CRIED FOR THE MOTHERS, CRIED FOR THE FATHERS
BROTHERS AND SISTERS GONE
CRIED FOR THE CHILDREN SITTING AND WAITING--
FOR THOSE WHO AIN'T COMIN' HOME
VS
IN THE EARLY AFTERMATH, ON THAT DAY IN MANHATTAN
THE COURAGEOUS ARRIVED ON THE SCENE
ASTHE FIRE CLIMBED HIGHER--HIGHER AND HIGHER
UP THE STAIRWELLS THEY CAME
HEROES IN LIFE, HEROES IN DEATH AS THE STEEL GAVE
'WAY ALL AROUND
I CRIED FOR THE FIREMEN CRIED FOR THE POLICEMEN, AS I WATCHED THE WALLS CRUMBLIN' DOWN
CHORUS
AND I CRIED FOR THE MOTHERS, CRIED FOR THE FATHERS
BROTHERS AND SISTERS GONE
I CRIED FOR THE CHILDREN SITTING AND WAITING--
FOR THOSE WHO AIN'T COMIN' HOME
VS
AS THE SMOKE RISES UP, WITH THE SOULS OF MANHATTAN
AND THE SUN SETS ON ANOTHER DAY
IN A RIVER OF TEARS, FOR THOSE WHO WON'T BE
FORGOTTEN
FLOAT THE MEMORIES THAT ALWAYS WILL STAY
CH/OUTRO
AND I CRIED FOR THE MOTHERS, CRIED FOR THE FATHERS
BROTHERS AND SISTERS TOO
I CRIED FOR THE CHILDREN WAITING AND WAITING--
I CRY FOR ME AND YOU--I CRY FOR ME AND YOU
