She walks to school with her arms crossed It’s just another day At 10 o’clock she hears this screaming Then finally she sees them It’s scary how things change
And I saw the story on the news I saw the footage from the roof I sat down and cried
Didn’t she call you? Didn’t she need you bad enough? Was there some reason I’m not aware of? Did you not write it down Just one more thing to do Where were you And didn’t she pray too
He kissed his wife good bye And took the earliest flight So he could be home that night To put his kids to sleep Down the aisle three men walked and said, “We’re here to die for our God.” He stood up and said, “That’s funny, ‘Cause my God died for me.”
I put the magazine down I read his words out loud I sat down and cried
Didn’t he call you? Didn’t he need you bad enough? Was there some reason I’m not aware of? Did you not write it down? Just one more thing to do Where were you? And didn’t he pray too?
The taxis pulled up on the very day of They rode 100 floors up just to come back down They never thought they’d see the day That the towers up in flames There was nothing left to say when it all came down
And didn’t they call you? Didn’t they need you bad enough? Was there some reason I’m not aware of? Did you not write it down? Just one more thing to do Where were you? Where were you? And didn’t they pray too?
I walk to school and I wear a cross I’m counting every day
