Think about the love inside the strength of heart
Think about the heroes saving life in the dark
Climbing higher through the fire time was running out
Never knowing you weren't going to be coming down alive
But you still came back for me
You were strong and you believed
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Think about the chance I never had to say
Thank you for giving up your life that day
Never fearing only hearing voices calling out
Let it all go the life that you know
just to bring it down alive
And you still came back for me
You were strong and you believed
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
(Again today we take into our hearts
and minds those who perished on this site one year ago
and also those who came to toil in the rubble
to bring order out of chaos
to help us make sense of our despair)
Wanna hold my wife when I get home
Wanna tell the kids they'll never know
how much I love to see them smile
Wanna make a change or two right now
Wanna live a life like you somehow
Wanna make your sacrifice worthwhile
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Think about the love inside the strength of heart
Think about the heroes saving life in the dark
Think about the chance I never had to say
Thank you for giving up your life that day
(The world will little note
nor long remember what we say here
but it can never forget what they did here)
