about

A song co-written and performed with Cody Care about the Boston Marathon Bombings that took place in April 2013. (2013)

lyrics

I turned on the TV, I couldn't believe my eyes
I saw the smoke rising 100 feet high
And I heard the people scream, it had to be a dream
Fear on the faces of friends and family

A nation in terror, a million broken hearts
Tragedy struck in our own back yard
Who could've known so close to home
We're coming together to stand on our own

And when you bleed I feel it
And when you scream I hear it
Our city is shaken but together we stand
Rise above the ashes and all the blood on our hands

No matter how black the sky
No matter how many tears we cry
The city lights will always shine
No matter what we always know
Wherever these lives may go
When Boston calls, we're not alone

Pick up the pieces and stand unafraid
Bury the angels but never in vain
We're reaching for justice and holding to hope
Praying for answers that we'll never know

And when you fall we'll catch you
And when you need we'll help you
Our city is shaken but we will recover
Rise above the hatred and we will carry each other

No matter how black the sky
No matter how many tears we cry
The city lights will always shine
No matter what we always know
Wherever these lives may go
When Boston calls, we're not alone

Our city is shaken but we still have our lives
Our sons and our daughters, our husbands and wives
Our brothers and sisters, our courage and strength
But above all else our freedom and our faith

No matter how black the sky
No matter how many tears we cry
The city lights will always shine
No matter what we always know
Wherever these lives may go
When Boston calls, we're not alone
