i'm trying to understand
why terror chose to strike our land
been four months since this happened
the pain is as fresh now as then

i'm trying to understand
all the hatred at your command
why did we deserve this
why must you be so prejudiced

i'm trying to understand
new york towers no longer stand
you hit the pentagon
they were damaged by flying bombs

WHY DID THIS HAPPEN
WHY CAUSE ALL THIS DEVASTATION
WHY OUR CITIZENS
WHY DID YOU ATTACK OUR NATION

i'm trying to understand
answers to questions we demand
lives lost all innocent
and we'll never see them again

i'm trying to understand
i don't think anyone can
you took away their voice
lives erased not given a choice

i'm trying to understand
the loss of live hard to withstand
too many were heroes
they gave their lives at ground zero

WHY DID THIS HAPPEN
WHY CAUSE ALL THIS DEVASTATION
WHY OUR CITIZENS
WHY DID YOU ATTACK OUR NATION

TELL ME...WHY DID THIS HAPPEN
