New Yorkers
The world looked on in disbelief
And watched two towers fall.
Then watched New Yorkers rise up
Responding to the call.
The task that they were facing
Would put them to the test.
But they soldiered on regardless,
America's best.
They never flinched despite their grief
For friends and family killed.
The dangers faced and then erased
From minds of metal will.
And watched two towers fall.

They never flinched despite their grief
For friends and family killed.
The dangers faced and then erased
From minds of metal will.
The nation watched in wonder
Their pride was rising fast
Their self belief cemented by
America's best
The tragedy of lives destroyed
In such an evil way
Creates a wound thats hard to heal
In any normal way.
But let us look for comfort
And relief from our distress,
By learning what true strength is ,from,
America's best
