We Watch the City

Author

Chester Finn is a Self-Advocate from New York

We watch the City fall down

But we pick it up.

The Cost of Freedom

We pick it up

Nothing said

We pick it up

We watch the City fall down

We pick it up

Because of Freedom

We walk hand in hand

God Save America

We pick it up

We watch the City fall down.

We pick it up

See the Capital standing strong.

Because of Freedom

We pick it up

We are Americans.

We pick it up

Because of Freedom

We pick it up

Long live Freedom

We pick it up

Long live Freedom

We pick it up

Raise the flag

We pick it up

Across the nation

We pick it up

We watch the City fall down

We pick it up

With the grace of God

We pick it up
