Night Falls Over Manhattan,
And angels soar into the sky.
Stars shine down on the city,
As God wipes a tear from His eye.

The dead and the living are walking together,
They tremble in awe at the sight.
Skylines are falling as angels are calling,
And vanishing into the Light.

Night Falls Over Manhattan,
As sorrow embraces the land.
Stars shine down on the city,
As courage and fear make a stand.

Hate is an evil that walks in the shadows;
Dream of a future that lives.
Peace is a beacon that lights up the darkness,
And Joy is a world that forgives.

BRIDGE
Night Falls Over Manhattan again,
Hope is alive on the wing.
Faith is the essence that binds us, and then,
Love is the song we all sing.

[ INSTRUMENTAL BREAK ]

Night Falls Over Manhattan,
And Angels soar into the sky.
Stars shine down on the city,
As God wipes a tear from his eye.
God wipes a tear from his eye.

CODA: Night… Falls...
