In the New York rain, I walk uncovered
If my city's crying
I want to feel her tears mingle with mine
For the freedom that I took for granted
For the loss of life
We'll never be the same again
It's gonna take time for sorrow
It's gonna take pain to feel
It's gonna take patience to come back
It's gonna take strength to heal
We gotta stand tall, united
We gotta stand tall, united
For Adonai and for Allah
For Jesus and for Brahma
We gotta stand tall, united
When the human call is to run from danger
Just a few, the brave
Hear the call to run the other way
They were the guardians of our loved ones
Now the roles are changing
Heroes leave their loved ones to us
We gotta see 'em through the sorrow
It's gonna take pain to feel
It's gonna take patience to come back
It's gonna take strength to heal
We gotta stand tall, united
We gotta stand tall, united
For Adonai and for Allah
For Jesus and for Brahma
We gotta stand tall, united
In the nation's storm I walk, uncovered
If America's crying
I wanna feel her tears mingle with mine
