Oh I watched it all fall down
I saw your face in the crowd
I saw the tears flowing from your eyes
I saw the fire in the sky
And we had no reason why
I asked will we ever be the same
You said to me

The spirit lives on,
Long after life, long after death
Has crumbled to the ground
The spirit lives on,
Long after life, long after death
They will always be around
Because the spirit lives on

I heard about the cross
How they thought all was lost
And how your friends trembled in their fear
And I heard about the nails
And the crown upon your head
And I know they thought you’d never rise again
But I can hear you say

I will live on
Long after life, long after death
Has crumbled to the ground
I will live on
Long after life, long after death
I will always be around
Oh I will live on



Behind the Song:
"Written on September 12th in remembrance of those who were lost in the attacks of 9/11. More importantly in remembrance of the one who laid his life down for every one of us, even those who chose to hate instead of love on 9/11. The truth remains… nothing can take the spirit of Christ away from any of us, not even death." - Building 429
