STRONG (5:12)
amazing grace, can’t you see their face
memories we can’t erase of that horrible day
city streets were cold and grey, with ashes raining down on our face
now heroes are holding on while we play
and we forget about about the wrong of yesterday
cause we will go on, and we will be strong
through the darkness we still carry on
and rise above
brushing off the dust and standing strong
empty pocket pain
the days of golden homes are now homeless days
but new yorkers refuse to stunt their faith
cause we believe in peace and love for one planet, all race
cause we will go on, and we will be strong
through the darkness we still carry on
and rise above
brushing off the dust and standing strong
rise above, rise above
even in the depths of debt and doubt and sleepless nights
and organized beliefs of backward faiths cookin up fights
we see the bait but we don’t bite
cause we will go on, and we will be strong
through the darkness we still carry on
and rise above
brushing off the dust and standing strong
rise above, believing in peace, believe in love
brushin off, brushin off all the dust
rise above, stand strong, stand strong
and rise above
