New York City morning Six billion people watching We had not seen such a thing We had not seen such a thing They were jumping down Down on to the ground They had no other way out They had no other way out They thought they could fly They had no other way out They had no other way out They thought they could fly At least they thought they could try Behind them were the flames In front of them was the sky They had to choose which way to die The horror came with the planes And demonstrates up high So that noone could deny Then cameras were rolling Twin Towers were falling We had not seen such a thing We had not seen such a thing Those fires were burning Ther lungs were choking They had no other way out They had no other way out They thought they could fly They had no other way out They had no other way out They thought they could fly At least they thought they could try Behind them were the flames In front of them was the sky They had to choose which way to die The horror came with the planes And demonstrated up high So that noone could deny They're dying now, we're crying now How could one do such a thing They're dying now, we're crying now How could one do such a thing They're dying now, we're crying now
