Story Behind the Song
New York is a great city" is a love song about a city. I used to live in New York, It is kind of like being a sailor, you might be high and dry ashore but you are still a sailor. Well even though I now live in Pebble Beach, Ca, thousands of miles away from New York, I still think of myself as a New Yorker. This reflected on the strength and variety of New Yorkers and American who came together as one after Sept 11,2001
Lyrics
New York is a great city a city with a heart
New York is a great city, the people are it’s heart.
They’re the heartbeats of the city, The blood flow of the town
They came together as one , the day New York was down
People of all persuasions, Every color, every creed
There is one thing they have in common, In freed om they believe.
They’re the heartbeats of the city, The blood flow of the town
They came together as one , the day New York was down
United we stand, all across this land,
Brave and caring hearts, with strong and ready hands
United we stand, all across this land,with American flags held high
In our heart , our hands, our skies
United we stand, all across this land,
With Brave and caring hearts, with strong and ready hands
Proud to be Americans, unwavering Red White and Blue.
We love our God Blest Country, love the Big Apple too.
We’re the heartbeats of America, the blood flow of our towns
We came together as one, the day New York was down.
People of every all persuasions, Every color, every creed
There is one thing we have in common, In freedom we believe.
We’re the heartbeats of the city, The blood flow of our towns.
We came together as one, the day New York was down.
New York is a great city a city with a heart
New York is a great city, the people are it’s heart.
They’re the heartbeats of the city, The blood flow of the town
They came together as one , the day New York was down
