	Story Behind the Song This song was not completed until October 5th. On September 11th we were in front of the television, taking a lunch break from our office, when the news broke in. We remained there. I apologise to anyone who may be offended by my politics. I wanted to write a song which could sung by anyone, at any time in the future. It is played on my Lowden O-10 in Drop D with the capo on fret 1 and it's a very simple traditional tune. Lyrics (Chorus) Weep for the innocent Sing for the hero Pray that your children Never have to do the same For you stand by a place Which they once called Ground Zero All because one God Could have more than one name We built twin towers to heaven And filled them with Babel And the tongues of the Earth turned to silver and gold And we made them a temple For the money-changers' tables Where the fates of whole nations Were weighed out and sold (Ch) When the hopes of one world Are the fears of another When one man's delight Is another man's pain When the freedom he wins Is a yoke for his brother Remember that swords Can be forged out of chains (Ch) So turn, turn again While this world is yet spinning Greet every morning As precious as the last Fight in your hearts The one war that's worth winning Fight for the future And vanquish the past (Ch, repeat and end)h
