The Camera Fades
When the towers fell
We learned for ourselves
That nothing comes for free
And there's a price for liberty
The fireman who rushed the gates
The police force who keeps us safe
The child at home who no longer waits
The people that we lost that day
What you did not see
At home on your TV
And what you did not hear
As the nation filled with fear
The sirens that never cease
The emptiness that filled the streets
The landmarks we'll never see
The city chopped off at the knees
The camera fades
But the souls remain
The wounds may heal
But we're never the same
Our innocence was lost
We're still totaling the costs
As soldier's sacrifice
I guess freedom has it's price
Now the question is
"Where were you when they hit?"
Be careful who you ask
There are wounds behind our masks
I was watching from the Jersey shore
I viewed it from my subway car
I dodged debris from up above
I was trying to reach the ones I love
The camera fades
But the souls remain
The wounds may heal
But we're never the same
Our innocence was lost
We're still totaling the costs
As soldier's sacrifice
I guess freedom has it's price
What once was there
Has now disappeared
Where souls did roam
Now a tourists home
Buying losts of crap
Like Ground Zero hats
But I have to laugh
'cause NY is like that
The camera fades
But the souls remain
The wounds may heal
But we're never the same
We learned for ourselves
That nothing comes for free
And there's a price for liberty
The fireman who rushed the gates
The police force who keeps us safe
The child at home who no longer waits
The people that we lost that day
What you did not see
At home on your TV
And what you did not hear
As the nation filled with fear
The sirens that never cease
The emptiness that filled the streets
The landmarks we'll never see
The city chopped off at the knees
The camera fades
But the souls remain
The wounds may heal
But we're never the same
Our innocence was lost
We're still totaling the costs
As soldier's sacrifice
I guess freedom has it's price
Now the question is
"Where were you when they hit?"
Be careful who you ask
There are wounds behind our masks
I was watching from the Jersey shore
I viewed it from my subway car
I dodged debris from up above
I was trying to reach the ones I love
The camera fades
But the souls remain
The wounds may heal
But we're never the same
Our innocence was lost
We're still totaling the costs
As soldier's sacrifice
I guess freedom has it's price
What once was there
Has now disappeared
Where souls did roam
Now a tourists home
Buying losts of crap
Like Ground Zero hats
But I have to laugh
'cause NY is like that
The camera fades
But the souls remain
The wounds may heal
But we're never the same
