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 were 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.

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.

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 the 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 right here, 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.

[The world will little note nor long remember what we say here,
but it can never forget what they did here.]
