We Bless America

I took a right down on West Broadway
And they were gone, up in smoke, how I miss them so
It's like everyone in New York has
had their two front teeth bashed out
And we're all finding it hard to smile

And flags are flying, America's crying
Candles are burning and people are yearning to find their loved ones
Towers crumbled on the ground
Flyers of photographs posted all around
I am beginning to recognize their faces and their names
Oh how I wish that Tuesday never came
Oh how I wish that Tuesday never came
My view will never be the same
It's gone
But our love is even stronger than it was before
And our hearts go out to every person lost on every floor
But we bless America even more

It's Saturday night at four a.m. on September 16th
And I'm hanging out with this guy named Chris
He just got off of work at Ground Zero
Just another masked hero
So I bought him a bear, and another and another and another
And then we walked to Union Square and then we held each other

And I love this city and I love my country and I Love my skyline
I want it back
headlines reading America Under Attack
Do you remember when we didn't have to worry?

And now flags are flying, America's crying
Candles are burning and people are yearning
to find their loved ones
Towers crumbled on the ground
Flyers of photographs posted all around
I am beginning to recognize their faces and their names
Oh how I wish that Tuesday never came
Oh how I wish that Tuesday never came
My view will never be the same
It's gone
But our love is even stronger than it was before
And our hearts go every brother and sister,
every mother and father
Every son and daughter, every husband every wife
Every lover, every friend
Lost on every floor
We bless America even more
