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

Another way up

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

Three men walked and said

We're here to die for our God

Cuz 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

Another way up

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

They rode 100 floors up

Just to come back down

They never thought they'd see the day

That the tower would be up in flames

There was nothing left to say

When it all came down

Didn't she call you

Didn't she need you bad enough

Was there some reason

Another way up

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
