lyrics
Verse 1
The story has been burned into our brains
The one about the two planes
It was early in that fateful morning
And they came in with out a single warning
Chorus
The fire the madness and all of the screams
People jumping outta windows it must have been a scene
I can't tell you how it was or how my heart was racing
If I was there I'd like to think I would have helped them all
Verse 2
The tasteless representation of it all
Like a broken record we all watched those buildings fall
Don't ya think they would have thought of the families at hand
But pretty soon they spun it into "United We Stand"
Chorus
The fire the madness and all of the screams
People jumping outta windows it must have been a scene
I can't tell you how it was or how my heart was breaking
If I was there I'd like to think I would have helped them all
Verse 3
Nearly ten years have passed yet the scars remain
All these new divisions even our vocabulary's changed
Not to mention all of our young men overseas
How many more coffins will come home before we all agree?
Bridge
That
All of this hate brings more of the same
We can't keep living like this
All of this hate brings more of the same
How do we move through this?
How do we get along?
We have to move on try to be kind
Try to remember but never forget
Those we love and those we lost
And those on the other side
..on the otherside
