Tracy Stafford Platinum VIBES - New Orleans Strong Lyrics

In times of grey and stormy skies we rise
A city scarred but never broken down
Heroes walking streets with steady strides
Healing hearts where shadows once were found

On New Year's Day our bells they ring so loud
A terrorist tried knocking on our weary door
In the darkest hours we stood so proud
With strength to fight and courage to restore

On this day we lift our heads up high
Through the tears and pain we shine so bright
With our heroes close we'll touch the sky
Together we stand strong we own the night

No other terrorism will bring us down
God has his hand on us and we will not frown
Police and healers running toward the terror
With every heartbeat racing to the call

In the face of terror they inspire
Turning shattered hopes to one for all
On this day we lift our heads up high
Through the tears and pain we shine so bright

With our heroes close we'll touch the sky
Together we stand strong we own the night
No acts of terrorism will bring us down
God has his hand on us and we will not frown

Through the ashes love's flame ignites anew
Hand by hand we make this city safe with heart
Hand in hand we write a tale that's true
Together mending every broken heart

God bless our city and the men and women in blue
For in New Orleans we are full of good people and heroes
That help us make it through
On this day we lift our heads up high

Through the tears and pain we shine so bright
With our heroes close we'll touch the sky
Together we stand strong we own the night
No act of terrorism will bring us down

God has his hand on us and we will not frown
From the ashes love's flame ignites anew

Hand by hand we make this city safe with heart

Hand in hand we write a tale that's true
Together mending every broken heart
God bless our city and the men and women in blue
For in New Orleans we are full of good people and heroes

That help us make it through
