	Story Behind the Song **ALL PROFITS TO BENEFIT THE SEPTEMBER 11TH FUND** This song was written on September 12th. In the face of inhumanity the best of our humanity was revealed as New Yorkers, Washingtonians, Americans, and citizens of the world came together to support one another. This song acknowledges the somberness of the events and finds comfort in the touching ways we've reached out to those in need. Lyrics On the day the sky fell down we held our breath in disbelief Then held each other and prayed for the innocence of yesterday And for the heroes who climbed to heaven As the stars came crashing down The leaders dropped their quarrels and sang: “God Bless America” On the day the sky fell down Lady Liberty raised her torch Cause even she could not see through the smoke and the fire But she did not close her eyes to the terror of the blazing skies She stood by and cried with her people “Why?!” and “God Bless America” Lady Liberty lift your torch higher So that we may see beyond smoke and fire On the night the sky fell down we gathered up the fallen stars And carried them and each other, once strangers, now brothers Guided by her light of truth through our darkest hours With all our colors and all our gods we began to build a new sky “God Bless America”
