[Verse 1]
She walks to school with her arms crossed
It's just another day
At 10:00, 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 bе home that night to put his kids to sleep
Down the aisle, three mеn 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, too?

[Bridge]
The taxis pulled up on the very day of
They rode one hundred 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, too? Oh

[Outro]
I walk to school and I wear a cross
I'm counting, every day
