Amid memories of towers burned down
Amid tears of remembrance
Sounds of Hope and
Words of Encouragement
USA, USA, USA !
New York City breathes !
Artists and politicians paying tribute
To Heroes of September 11th of 2001
Firefighters and Policemen clapping hands
Emergency Medical Service Heroes
Singing in tune and listening
NYC ! NYC! NYC!
“Yesterday”, Paul McCartney sings
“Why she had to go….I don’t know..”
The sounds of violin and piano
Closed eyes, and smoke over
Manhattan
“Yesterday…Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play”
Cheers from the public, children smiling
The memories of fallen fathers,
Lost mothers….
Interrupted childhood
and
Innocence lost.
Amid music and words
Future is rising again…
From the smoke and ashes
Images of familiar photos
Snuggled close to hearts
The music goes on…
“Freedom for our future
Fight for the right to live in
Freedom….”
Words echo through the space
World watching, women, men
Young and old , close together
And in the end..
“let it be….let it be..”
Keep up your hopes..
At night say your prayers…. and smile
Because…New York City
Lives!
