Ny Ny
hopes dreams crashed that day
upon our city streets
childrens hearts blessed with peace
awaken to a war drum beat
shuffling through the ashes
mixed with all our tears
drifting for the open seas
at rest now without fears
love and prayers for those now gone
and who so suffered on that day
casualties in a war not yours
but in a world thats lost its way
try to hope with dreams again
on these dusted city streets
newly forged in blind white fire
the wiser childs heart now beats
