Lyrics
A normal New York day
Planes hijacked, lost their way
Riled and stirred I am
As two towers cascade
Caught up in endless words
Speeches that preach and mourn
Complacent till yesterday
Time to rise to arms today
There are no doves in flight
Solemn vigils fill the night
I canAÃ??Ã??'A,A,A't seem to understand
Why this happened to
My fellow Americans
EveryoneAÃ??Ã??'A,A,A's standing strong
Wondering...was this our fault
TV replays but we canAÃ??Ã??'A,A,A't believe
That this happened in our country
There are no doves in flight
Solemn vigils by candlelight
I canAÃ??Ã??'A,A,A't seem to understand
Why this happened to
My fellow Americans
CanAÃ??Ã??'A,A,A't recognize the cost
Of all those lives that have been lost
There are no doves in flight
Solemn vigils fill the night
I canAÃ??Ã??'A,A,A't seem to understand
Why this has happened
To my fellow Americans
We all refuse to understand
Why this has happened
To my fellow Americans
