Story Behind The Song
one of those sentimental moods
Song Description
Inspired by the events of 9-11 but as a span of wondering how killing still happens at such a rate that it hampers the very enjoyment of living and being able to be optimistic in such a society. By looking at the oblivious bliss on a child's face that knows only love not hate, it makes us aspire to be something wonderful.

Lyrics
We don't need to even talk about these times of tragedy
often wind up with doubt- The train goes rushing by- You don't hear a sound
You don't know why- Unusual it is for a hurricane to go and smash into New
York leaving God up to blame- The wind goes howling by- You don't feel the
rain to wash the pain- How cruel it is today all these nihilists keep wasting our
time- Their confusion will remain an example for the rest of our lives- For young
minds will show us how- For young minds will show all of us how to get along
How to be strong once in awhile- Where do you go when you're down and out
Is there someone you can call have you been feeling left out- You won't let it
change your mind, you won't scream and shout, you will survive- There you are
and there you go again- You've been so caught up in relief not left feeling the
pain- You're gonna let the kids change your mind, they'll teach us instead to rely
