Lyrics
Manhattan Towers:
I saw the towers burning in the sky
I heard the screams as the thousands died
I felt the shockwave as the world looked on
The twin towers of Manhattan are gone
Oooh - They're gone
I felt the spirit stirring in my heart
With grief and sadness I was blown apart
And in that moment with a unitive mind
I felt the touch of all mankind
Oooh - All mankind
A new reaction from the world at large
Compassion wisdom and an open heart
As thousands died the world awoke
So from the ashes of the towers springs hope
Oooh - Shining star of hope
So let's remember that there is only love
The same in this world as in heaven above
And bring awareness of the light to the dark
Remind the people they can't put out their spark
Oooh - Their eternal spark
