We can hear your tears, as they are shed
In this moment of torturous pain
We’ll remember the candles you’ve lit for us
And the flowers your masses have laid
We know you are there
that you stand at our backs
That our horror is yours to share
We feel your support
Your loving embrace
Thank you - we know you are there

We’ve heard your cries and words of support
we’ve seen the wreathes and flowers
The emails that come to comfort our hearts
Since we lost New York’s twin towers
Forgive us, if we seem to withdraw
If we tend to huddle close together
Forgive us if we seem off somewhere
We still feel your support
As you stand at our backs
Remember - we know you are there
