We’re All New Yorkers Now

Those who knock our buildings down
Don't know where our home is found
They may try to gouge our skin
But our hearts are safe within
Nations flocking to our side
Let our goodness be our guild
Those who love their liberty
Are all new yorkers just like me
We're all new yorkers now

New York's not cement or steel
But people kind and brave and real

Anyone who's free will vow
That we're all new Yorkers now

Though our buildings scrape the sky
Our cities made of what's inside
Thought we suffer for today
Hate won't wipe our faith away
If you couldn't help but moan
And if you've ever ever loved your home
All who hold their freedom high
You're all new Yorkers when you sigh

Remember hope and try your eyes
For all the kids, their folks
The husbands and the wives
Fear will never make us bow
Time to lift your troubled brow

We're all New Yorkers now
We're all New Yorkers now
New York's not cement or steel
But people kind and brave and real
We're all New Yorkers now
Anyone who's free will vow
That we're all New Norkers now
We're all New Yorkers now
