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 goodbye

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 tower's 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
