New York City Is Praying - 911 Tribute - Sad Hill News
A song of hope released not long after September 11, 2001. Video by Sad Hill:
New York City
here's a song for the heroes
who were braver than I could ever be
love for their families
who are grieving but not alone
new york city is crying
new york city is down on her knees
new york city is praying
together with you
here's a song for the missing
every loved one who still can't be found
love for their families
who in sorrow are not alone
new york city is standing by you
new york city is down on her knees
new york city is praying
together with you
may our voices rise to "split the sky...
and let the face of God shine through"
can we push the clouds of fear apart
and rest our sadness on Thy heart
new york city is trying
new york city is down on her knees
new york city is praying
together with you

Thanks for your illustration & sharing. Written by Suzzy Roche, this song, performed by Suzzy & Terry Roche, is on their "Zero Chuch" cd, on Red House Records.
I commend to viewers Suzzy's liner notes (roches [dot] com / discography / zerochurch [dot] html), which include:
"Maggie & I had been reading Edna St. Vincent Millay's poem 'Renascence' at the conception of this project, & we went back to read it again after September 11. I felt heavily influenced by her poem while writing this."
