Oh beauty of the empire sky
How I'm missin' you, your twinklin' eyes
Tellin' us to stay safe and warm
Til we are together in your arms
Hold on hold on
Through the darkness, through despair
Hold on hold on
Through the hopeless news we hear
You are stronger than you think
We've been through the thick and thin
Though the times are rough
You are tough
We are more than what they say
Growing stronger every day
Though we look like we have pressed our luck
We're tough
We're tough
Baby, New York tough
Every night we hear the echoing
Cheering for the front lines, yeah we sing
Prayers going up in every way
You hear our silent cries, and you say
Hold on hold on
Through the darkness through despair
Hold on hold on
Through the hopeless news we hear
You are stronger than you think
We've been through the thick and thin
Though the times are rough
You are tough
We are more than what they say
Growing stronger every day
Though we look like we have pressed our luck
You are stronger than you think
We've been through the thick and thin
Though the times are rough
You are tough
We are more than what they say
Growing stronger every day
Though we look like we have pressed our luck
We're tough
Oh, we're tough
Baby, New York tough
We're tough
Oh, we're tough
Baby, New York tough
