[Intro]
Sirens pierce the morning haze
Paper angels dance through Newark's maze
September sky turned ashen gray
When silence taught us what to say
[Verse 1]
Mama's hands keep folding sheets
While daddy stares down empty streets
The radio just keeps on playing
But no one here knows what they're saying
Through Ironbound's familiar air
Drifts something we can't repair
[Chorus]
And the city screams in red and blue
Emergency lights cutting through
While Jersey holds its breath tonight
Watching towers fall from sight
(Watching towers fall from sight)
[Verse 2]
Latin rhythms still pulse below
Through bodegas row by row
But something's different in the beat
Of footsteps down Ferry Street
The neighbors nod but can't quite speak
Their voices caught somewhere between
[Bridge]
In my window, watching life unfold
Stories that'll never quite be told
Coffee cups and rosary beads
Everyone down on their knees
Praying for some goddamn peace
[Verse 3]
The saxophone still finds its way
Through sirens' endless display
Each note a prayer we couldn't say
Each breath we couldn't take that day
When mama's hands began to shake
And daddy's silence made us break
[Chorus]
And the city screams in red and blue
Emergency lights cutting through
While Jersey holds its breath tonight
Watching towers fall from sight
(Watching towers fall from sight)
[Outro]
Now the years keep rolling past
Some wounds just weren't meant to last
But in Newark's streets at night
Those sirens still burn bright
Like paper angels in their flight
Through an endless September night
