Don'T Lower Manhattan

Don’t Lower Manhattan, Keep your heads held high. Don’t have any truck with evil and Let West Side show your best side. We all come to you, We’ll still come to you. We know you can show us, The city with a pace and a grace That will get you through this outrage. Don’t alter your sidewalk geography, Don’t falter on the altar of exclusion or Illusion of a yet more secure existence By locking all the locks and freezing your liberty. For those who remain, it’s the struggle To balance freedom, and tame The terror and the tantrums of insane Acts by dangerous people. For those who have gone, you will long Be remembered in the city that neither sleeps, Nor forgets.
