On that fiery day when the towers gave way New York had her heart broke New York had her heart broke Many heroes died trying to save someone inside When New York had her heart broke New York had her heart broke And I was there that day And I don't know what to say 'Cept New York had her heart broke New York had her heart broke And the day that felt dark, F-16's over Central Park When New York had her heart broke We were dazed out in the street From the blood and dust and heat When New York had her heart broke New York had her heart broke And the world changed that day Forever some men say When New York had her heart broke In a million years she couldn't cry more tears New York had her heart broke New York had her heart broke Oh, but she will rise again
