lyrics

Empire State up high in the sky;
Men carry weight as the whips on by.
Bulldozer hats strapped ‘round their chins.
Will they beat wind and stay to win.

Only 5 died, then Herbert Hoover switched the light on.
Working men laid their tool belts down, marched from their windblown home.
Home to their wives away from the sky.
Safe in their arms. No more beams up high.

Empire State up high in the sky. Men carry weight as the wind whips on...
By. In the sky men carry weight as the wind whips on by.
High in the sky men carry weight as the wind whips on by.

Once was the tallest skyscraper in the whole world.
Before sad attacks it stood second from gold.
Only to go back to its old place.
Where the sun shines, shines in its face.

Empire State up high in the sky. Men carry weight as the wind whips on...
By. In the sky men carry weight as the wind whips on by.
High in the sky men carry weight as the wind whips on...
