Kingdom Come - Judy Collins (朱蒂·柯林斯)[00:00:01]

It was seven months since 9/11[00:00:19]

And the work was almost done[00:00:22]

It was seven months since 9/11[00:00:25]

And the work had just begun[00:00:27]

Ground Zero lit the evening sky[00:00:30]

Like a beacon through the heart[00:00:33]

The searchlights drove through Heaven's doors[00:00:36]

And blew them far apart[00:00:39]

A few miles north on the Hudson River[00:00:42]

We had gathered for a sort of wake[00:00:45]

Nobody felt like celebrating[00:00:48]

But the Firemen needed some kind of break[00:00:50]

They'd been to so many funerals[00:00:53]

And seen so many God-awful sights[00:00:56]

They'd been to Ground Zero from dawn to dusk[00:00:59]

And round the clock some nights[00:01:02]

To Kingdom come to hell and gone[00:01:05]

To somewhere far away[00:01:12]

Where murder doesn't break the heart[00:01:17]

On a sunny day[00:01:22]

I was all dressed up like[00:01:34]

The rest of the crowd[00:01:36]

At the Roxy Club that night[00:01:37]

The men and women in Uniform[00:01:40]

Tried hard to keep it light[00:01:42]

Kevin Bacon played and sang[00:01:46]

And people start to smile[00:01:48]

Chris Bodi played his silver horn[00:01:52]

With rhythm and with style[00:01:54]

I sang my song Amazing Grace[00:01:57]

And people laughed and cried[00:02:00]

Ronan Tynan sang Danny Boy and[00:02:04]

Not an eye was dry[00:02:06]

Steve Buscemi spoke of life[00:02:09]

At Engine 55[00:02:12]

Of how these heroes[00:02:14]

Stayed the course and[00:02:16]

Saved so many lives[00:02:18]

To Kingdom come to hell and gone[00:02:20]

To somewhere far away[00:02:27]

Where murder doesn't break the heart[00:02:32]

On a sunny day[00:02:37]

A burly man with a handsome face[00:02:55]

Stuck out his hand and smiled[00:02:58]

Say, meet my wife, we like your songs[00:03:01]

We've been with you mile for mile[00:03:04]

Though he had a rugged face[00:03:07]

I knew I saw the hurt[00:03:10]

Then he pointed to a spot above[00:03:12]

The collar of his shirt[00:03:16]

Just look here on the back of my neck[00:03:19]

There's a tattoo, can you see?[00:03:21]

Just right here I got up close[00:03:24]

And saw the number 343[00:03:27]

The number of the Firemen[00:03:30]

Who were lost upon that day[00:03:33]

The numbers of those heroes[00:03:36]

Ground Zero was their grave[00:03:39]

To Kingdom come to hell and gone[00:03:42]

To somewhere far away[00:03:48]

Where murder doesn't break the heart[00:03:53]

On a sunny day[00:03:59]

Those firemen loaded up with gear[00:04:16]

Climbed to their death's that day[00:04:19]

Along with all the other hundreds[00:04:22]

Blasted on their way[00:04:25]

Police and EMS and those[00:04:28]

On whom death took its toll[00:04:31]

And more whose dreams will never dawn[00:04:33]

More than three thousand souls[00:04:37]

I left the party after that[00:04:40]

I could not stay my tears[00:04:42]

For all our gifts for all our hopes[00:04:45]

For all our nameless fears[00:04:48]

For all our heroes men and women[00:04:51]

Lost on that black day[00:04:54]

Those firemen with courage[00:04:57]

In their hearts so strong and brave[00:04:59]

Who made sure in their final hours[00:05:02]

There were 30,000 saved[00:05:05]

They've gone to where there are no tears[00:05:09]

And every heart is gay[00:05:15]

And they won't be forgotten on a sunny day[00:05:21]

To Kingdom come to hell and gone[00:05:28]

To somewhere far away[00:05:35]

Where murder doesn't break the heart[00:05:40]

On a sunny day[00:05:45]

Where murder doesn't break the heart[00:05:48]

On a sunny day[00:05:54]
