Didn't They

[Verse 1]

She walks to school

With her arms crossed

It's just another day

At 10 o clock she hears this screaming

Then finally she sees them

It's scary how things change

And I saw the story on the news

I saw the footage from the roof

I sat down and cried

[Chorus]

Didn't she call you

Didn't she need you bad enough

Was there some reason

I'm not aware of

Did you not write it down

Just one more thing to do

Where were you

And didn't she pray too

[Verse 2]

He kissed his wife goodbye

And took the earliest flight

So he could be home that night

To put his kids to sleep

Down the aisle

Three men walked and said

We're here to die for our God

He stood up and said that's funny

'Cause my God died for me

I put the magazine down

I read his words out loud

I sat down and cried

[Chorus]

And didn't he call you

Didn't he need you bad enough

Was there some reason

I'm not aware of

Did you not write it down

Just one more thing to do

Where were you

And didn't he pray to oh

[Verse 3]

The taxis pulled up

On the very day of

They rode 100 floors up

Just to come back down

They never thought they'd see the day

That the tower's up in flames

There was nothing left to say

When it all came down

[Chorus]

And didn't they call you

Didn't they need you bad enough

Was there some reason

I'm not aware of

Did you not write it down

Just one more thing to do

Where were you

Where were you

And didn't they pray to

Oh

[Outro]

I walk to school

And I wear a cross

I'm counting

Every day
