She walks to school with her arms crossed It’s just another day At ten o’ clock she hears the 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 Didn’t she pray too
He kissed his wife goodbye And took the earliest flight So he could be home that night To put his kids to sleep Down the aisle three men walk 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 a hundred floors up Just to come back down They never thought they’d see the day That the towers up in flames But there was nothing left to say When it all came down
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 Didn’t they pray too, oh
I walk to school and I wear a cross I’m counting every day
