about

A mother trying to explain to her children why the events of 911 took place

lyrics

Today just isn’t the same, the finger looking for someone to blame
Until it finds a direction, we’ll all be pointing in vain
He looks me straight in the eye, says “Why did so many people die?
Who was it crashed those planes in the sky? Why did they cause all this pain?”

How am I supposed to reply, there’s no logic to justify
As I hold back the tears in my eyes and say
God knows why

Today just doesn’t feel fair, smiling and laughing in the wake of despair
Life carries on for the lucky few hear but something is forever changed
He watches me innocently and says, “Why did it have to be?
Where is the good in this tragedy? Will everything work out OK?”

How am I supposed to reply, when the answers confuse and defy
As I choke back the anger inside and say
God knows why

We’ll never explain, we’ll never know why
We’ll never accept, we can’t justify,
We’ll never make sense, we’ll never find peace
We’ll never feel safe, even as we sleep
We’ll never forgive, we’ll never forget
The images in our heads

How am I supposed to reply, when the truth is much worse than a lie
Protecting that innocent mind I say
God knows why
