Lyrics
I just called had to say
"It's been a day... and its only begun"
Tell the kids I said, "hey"
By the way, I might never get home okay Something's come - 911
Through the bright cloudless skies
It crashed into our lives
Taking us one by one
Burning black in their hearts
Tearing our lives apart
Baring all they'd become - 911
CHORUS: In a cloud of white particle rain... unspeakable pain
In the end you know you know nobody wins So now it begins - 911
Called once more just to say,
Its not okay, its all coming undone
Seems we're victims of hate
Could be too late
Somebody please God come - 911
CHORUS
I just called had to say,
Its been a day and its only begun
Tell the kids I love you
Cause I do
And you're all gonna make it through We're not done - 911
In the land of the free
We never will be undone - 911
