The cello sets an atmospheric, somber mood in this tribute to the victims of 9/11.

EVER SEEN CENTRAL PARK IN WINTER
OR THE NEON LIGHTS IN TIMES SQUARE
MEMORIES LIKE THESE SHOULD LAST FOREVER
LET'S MAKE THEM EVEN BETTER
CAUSE THIS IS OUR TIME TO PULL TOGETHER
AND SHOW THE WORLD WHAT WE'RE MADE OF
NEW YORKER'S SEEM TO HAVE A BAD REP
BUT HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS
YEA I'D TAKE A ROCKET SHIP TO OUTER SPACE
JUST TO DESCEND ON EARTH AND SEE YOUR SWEET FACE
NEW YORK...COULD THERE BE ANYTHING MORE BEAUTIFUL
NEW YORK...I SWEAR I'D NEVER LOOK AT ANOTHER
ALTHOUGH IT'S BEEN A REAL TOUGH PAST FEW YEARS
TOGETHER WE'LL RE-BUILD OUR FRONTIER
NEW YORK...'M COMING HOME
HOW ABOUT A SKATE AT ROCKEFELLER CENTER
OR MAYBE A WALK DOWN ASTOR PLACE
THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE SHINING DOWN ON BROADWAY
THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY
YEA LETS TAKE A ROCKET SHIP TO OUTER SPACE
JUST TO DESCEND ON EARTH
TO OUR STATE OF GRACE
IT ALWAYS HURTS WHEN WE LOOK BACK
BUT WE'LL FIND THE STRENGTH TO RISE ABOVE
FROZEN IN TIME FOR A MOMENT...
LET'S NEVER FORGET
LAND THAT I LOVE ~ LAND OF THE FREE
THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS
HAS JUST NOW SWEPT ME OFF MY FEET
HOW COULD I EVER PAY YOU BACK
FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME...NEW YORK
IF YOU CAN MAKE IT THERE
YOU CAN MAKE IT ANYWHERE
NEW YORK
