Lyrics
AFTER THE DISASTER
Words and Music by Don Magyar

Verse 1
Sunshine upon your face.
Busy life. Everything in place.
You run, but your feet aren't on the ground.
You think you're in control.
Then your world comes crashing down.
Chorus
After the disaster
We fall to our knees. Say, "No God, please!"
After the disaster
We pick through the pieces while on our knees.
Verse 2
Oh, so much is gone.
I know, it's hard to hold on.
Tears haven't washed the pain away.
Every thing you do reminds you of that day.
Chorus
After the disaster
We fall to our knees. Say, "No God, please!"
After the disaster
We pick through the pieces while on our knees.

Bridge
Though our hearts are broken
We must carry on.
'Cause though we all return to dust
They will live on.
If we get up, go on, they'll live on through us.
Chorus
After the disaster
We fall to our knees. Say, "No God, please!"
But after the morning after
We've got to go on while we grieve.
Chorus
After the disaster
We fall to our knees. Say, "No God, please!"
But after the morning after
They live on in memories.
Instrumental
