Today in New York City

The wind blows gently through the streets

A hush falls upon the bustling town

Where scores of angels stand

Watching, protecting, guarding

A lone cry from somewhere in the dark

Reminds us of the terror

The courage, the unstoppable strength

Of the many heroes who tried to help

On the day darkness and evil prevailed

Reaching down, God uplifted the broken

Held them to his heart and cried

In the other hand he comforted survivors

Wrapping them in his blanket of love

Providing a place of shelter and healing

Of hearts that would otherwise die

Today in New York City

The memories of a darker day

Rise to honor the brave, the innocent
