Lyrics
We were crossing Idaho when we heard the news
Travelling in our RV searching for the clues
Why would someone do this
whats the point the reason why
As tears rose in our eyes we searched a distant sky
The wheels kept on a rollin as we listened to the radio
Voices of the shocked bewildered
No one seemed to know
Why would someone do this
kill civillians at their work
Martyrs to their cause, how do you ease the hurt
Chorus
See the flag a flutter flying half past in memory
I feel the pain you suffer your dispair and misery
It'll never be the same
It'll never be the same
It'll never be the same again
Now we were in Utah on the shores of the great salt lake
Ground zero was a long way
Still the earth is seemed to shake
Why would someone do this
whats the point the reason why
An Eagle soared across our path and lifted to the sky
