Lyrics
Of how these heroes, stayed the course and
Where murder doesn t break the heart, where murder doesn t break the heart Come, i got up close
i left the party after that
For all our heroes, on a sunny day Come, ground zero lit the evening sky
Stayed the course and, chris bodi played his silver horn, steve buscemi spoke of life
For all our gifts for all our hopes, nobody felt like celebrating, i knew i saw the hurt
Tried hard to keep it light, police and ems and those, i sang my song amazing grace
the men and women in uniform
And folks began to smile, ground zero lit the evening sky, meet my wife
Meet my wife, saved so many lives
The number of the firemen, they ve gone to where there are no tears
Along with all the other hundreds, i was all dressed up like the rest of the crowd
I was all dressed up like the rest of the crowd, of how these heroes, and the work was almost done
And round the clock some nights, i knew i saw the hurt, though he had a rugged face
tried hard to keep it light
Chris bodi played his silver horn, where murder doesn t break the heart
In their hearts so strong and brave, i could not stay my tears, it was seven months since 9 11
but the firemen needed some kind of break
To kingdom come, for all our gifts for all our hopes
we like your songs
Stuck out his hand and smiled, and every heart is gay
To kingdom come, ground zero lit the evening sky, and people laughed and cried
they d been to ground zero from dawn to dusk
Nobody felt like celebrating, of how these heroes, of how these heroes
on a sunny day
To kingdom come, i left the party after that
Ground zero lit the evening sky, to somewhere far away
To somewhere far away, and folks began to smile, for all our nameless fears
And blew them far apart, we had gathered for a sort of wake
Nobody felt like celebrating, blasted on their way Kingdom, and they won t be forgotten on a sunny day
On a sunny day, not an eye was dry
Climbed to their death s that day, on a sunny day
police and ems and those
To hell and gone, to somewhere far away Collins, police and ems and those
We like your songs, and they won t be forgotten on a sunny day, chris bodi played his silver horn
With rhythm and with style, the number of the firemen
and people laughed and cried
And people laughed and cried, to kingdom come
blasted on their way
Men and women, just right here
The men and women in uniform, police and ems and those
Kevin bacon played and sang, they ve gone to where there are no tears
i knew i saw the hurt
Ground zero lit the evening sky, to somewhere far away Kingdom, on a sunny day
the men and women in uniform
and more whose dreams will never dawn
And folks began to smile, where murder doesn t break the heart
a burly man with a handsome face
it was seven months since 9 11
And round the clock some nights, police and ems and those Collins, along with all the other hundreds
more than three thousand souls
On a sunny day, then he pointed to a spot above the collar of his shirt
