[Verse 1]
From my window in Newark's iron heart
Watched the smoke paint darkness in the morning art
Dad's coffee grew cold, mama couldn't speak
As the skyline bled into something bleak
[Chorus]
September sky, why'd you change that day?
When the towers fell and the world turned grey
All the jazz clubs closed their doors that night
While sirens wailed their mournful fight
[Verse 2]
Silent streets in the Ironbound
Where salsa meets jazz, but there's no sound
Pop's eyes fixed on the TV screen
Watching history break our American dream
[Bridge]
The city holds its breath, like a note suspended
While downtown burns and lives are upended
Vanessa plays her bossa down the hall
Sweet melody through paper-thin walls
[Verse 3]
Portuguese prayers mix with jazz refrains
As Newark watches New York through smoke and pain
Mama lights her candles, one by one
For souls ascending to the setting sun
[Chorus]
September sky, why'd you change that day?
When the towers fell and the world turned grey
All the jazz clubs closed their doors that night
While sirens wailed their mournful fight
[Verse 4]
Years pass like improvisations
Still feel the weight of those revelations
The smoke has cleared but memories remain
Of innocence lost in morning rain
[Outro]
Now we play to heal what broke back then
Let the music rise from the ashes again
Through bebop lines and Latin beats
Finding peace in these iron streets
Finding peace in these iron streets
