Think about the love inside the strength of heart
Think about the heroes saving life in the dark
Climbing higher through the fire, time was running out
Never knowing you weren't going to be coming down alive
But you still came back for me
You were strong and you believed



Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be alright

Be strong. Believe.

Be strong. Believe.



Think about the chance I never had to say

Thank you for giving up your life that day

Never fearing, only hearing voices calling out

Let it all go, the life that you know, just to bring it down alive

And you still came back for me

You were strong and you believed



Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be alright

Be strong. Believe.



(Again today, we take into our hearts and minds those who perished on this site one year ago, and also those who came to toil in the rubble to bring order out of chaos, to help us make sense of our despair)



Wanna hold my wife when I get home

Wanna tell the kids they'll never know how much I love to see them smile

Wanna make a change or two right now

Wanna live a life like you somehow

Wanna make your sacrifice worthwhile



Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be alright

Be strong. Believe.



Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be alright

Be strong. Believe.



Think about the love inside the strength of heart

Think about the heroes saving life in the dark

Think about the chance I never had to say

Thank you for giving up your life that day
