	Story Behind the Song This song was originally written one week after Sept 11. The lyrical content was changed recently as the ruins of the WTC were cleared, to reflect on the emptiness that exists at the site and in all our hearts. Lyrics We watched a blue sky turn to darkness As the shadows fell on the land one day Mourning clouds rained on the nation And washed the bright sunshine away And as we learned more of the horror The pain we felt made it so clear That we would know a new horizon Of what humanity must bear CHORUS: Where are the buildings rising to the sky? There's still a shadow on the ground And where are the people that we loved so much? All we have lost cannot be found We should recall the tale of Job now Who kept his faith through deep despair Somehow the questions lead to answers But we must listen or we won't hear Still we feel confused and helpless Although the ruins are swept away All we have left is emptiness In the aftermath of the darkest day (repeat chorus) The world keeps turning and we wonder How can we lift our hearts once more? Where will we find ourselves tomorrow? Where can we find all we have lost?
