Bless NY's Finest, our Angels in Blue.

Giving us hope and helping us through.

And Bless NY's Bravest, the FDNY.

Giving their sweat and their tears and their lives.

And Bless all the medics and our troops overseas.

Bless the guys in the hardhats removing debris.

Bless the everyday people who answered the call.

Bless those who gave some and those who gave ALL.

Bless all the souls who left us this year.

You may be gone but you'll always be here."

-words by R. Popovic
