lyrics

I saw the towers burning
But I didn’t see them fall
I saw the whole world turning so small

I saw the independence
Fireworks in the sky
But this bore no resemblance to July

Is there a heaven?
I don’t know
Is there a hell?
I never hope to go
Is there a difference, can you tell?

I saw the mayor holding
The fire widow’s hand
I saw the president make demands

I saw the anchors talking
Fighting through their tears
Static and panic filled my ears

Is there a heaven?
I don’t know
Is there a hell?
I never hope to go
Is there a difference, can you tell?

Can you tell if there’s a reason
For the things we do and say?
Is there any other way?
Can you tell?
Can you tell?

I saw the planes returning
About a hundred thousand times
Like it was burned into my mind

I saw the cloud expanding
As I watched the buildings fall
Until the dust covered us all

Is there a heaven?
I don’t know
Is there a hell?
I never hope to go
Is there a difference, can you tell?

Can you tell if there’s a reason
For the things we do and say?
Is there any other way?
