    Story Behind the Song
    This was written on 9/11 after the events of that terrible day.. You know, I knew all along that the song I was writing would not have any value past expressing what I felt. What do you do with a song like this? I did not even want to write it because I also knew everyone and their brother would be putting out a tune about this loss and I did not want to be a part of capitalizing on something so horrible. But I could not help myself, I had to write it.. I was done with this song in 4 hours. This was from the time I picked up my guitar to the time I shut my recording system off and walked back into the house.. The song ended up getting legs of it's own and was on the Walton And Johnson show.. It was then played on radio stations in the south for weeks.. (Go figure)I of course have not made a dime on it.. But for that matter I haven't made a dime on any of them..LOL I figure if I sell about 200,000 CD's I will almost break even...LOL Oh well, no reason to stop now I am addicted to writing music, plus my wife would go crazy with me in the house all of the time... LOL PLEASE tell me if you like it.. Joe Roy



    Lyrics
    So what is there left to say
    After what we've seen today
    The world may keep turning
    But we won't turn away
    Not after what we've seen today

    Two by two they chose to fly
    Their last free choice was how to die
    My heart just sank
    There was nothing left to say
    After what we saw today

    How can this really be
    I just don't believe these things I see
    All those poor people
    And the world came crashing down
    All there work scattered on the ground

    And I keep asking all the questions
    You know the ones we'll never know
    Why does something like this happen
    Where do all the answers go

    I just don't know and we'll never know
    Why life is so fast
    But from 3 to 5 it's slow
    I don't know and well never know
    Why the flight you took
    Was the one to go..

    The world may keep turning
    But we sure won't turn away
    Not after what we've seen today
