I wrote this as my afterthought to the events of September 11, 2001. The title says it all..
lyrics
(All that I am is torn and what’s left I share with you)
I was there that day, when the Earth stood still
It took my breath away, and it always will
It was so long ago, but a bright blue sky
Is a constant reminder, and the question why
All that I am is torn, and what’s left I share with you
I CAN’T COMPREHEND HATE, my heart does not know,
What their thought was that day, and why it was so
I WON’T COMPREHEND HATE, or this God for sake kill
We all suffered most, when the Earth stood still
BREAK
Although we live so far removed
There’s a haunting reflection, in every room
In the mirror stares your soul each day
As your constant reminder and what you must say
All that I am is torn, and what’s left I share with you
I CAN’T COMPREHEND HATE, my heart does not know,
What their thought was that day, and why it was so
I WON’T COMPREHEND HATE, or this God for sake kill
We all suffered most, when the Earth stood still
I CAN’T COMPREHEND HATE cause my, heart does not know,
What their thought was that day, and why it was so
Cause we all met our fate, they destroyed us at will
Just one reason why, I CAN’T COMPREHEND HATE
BREAK
We didn’t have to die that day,
I CAN’T COMPREHEND HATE
As their hatred stained the world. From the towers to the planes, this act was just insane
I’m talking to you right now. There’s no need to hurt each other
PLEASE!, PLEASE!
PLEASE TELL ME WHY?
I CAN’T COMPREHEND HATE
(All that I am is torn and what’s left I share with you)
