It was like an early winter on 11 of September

Ash in the air covered sweet mother’s eyes

Overcome by darkness I found warmth in the embers

Of every word of hope our nation would survive

Searching for signs as day became night

A vision did appear beneath our burning skies

Have no fear, my dear, I’ll be watching over you

Sweet mother liberty

I’ll stand by you, you stood by me

Sweet mother liberty

Brave mother liberty

Proud mother liberty

We’ll stand as one

In the morning after sunrise around the fallen towers

Shimmering shadows hurry by on the ash below

Our gaze went starwards where chimney smoke flowers

Our nation’s heart was trembling but strength was in her soul

And we gave of our hearts and gave of our blood

One unified moment of national love

The city that knows no sleep bound by brotherhood in its hour of need

Sweet mother liberty

I’ll stand by you, you stood by me

Sweet mother liberty

Brave mother liberty

Proud mother liberty

We’ll stand as one

Across our treasured land ordinary people became angels

From mountain high to golden sands

Let freedom ring let freedom sing

Our ramparts will be strong

And me I have seen ordinary angel

Through fire and smoke their shimmering wings

Hundreds of wings and wings and wings

Rising up like phoenix from the ash

Sweet mother liberty

I’ll stand by you, you stood by me

Sweet mother liberty

Brave mother liberty

Proud mother liberty

We’ll stand as one
