Story Behind the Song
We wrote this song not long after the Sept 11 Tragedy, however only recently decided to record it because it is such a powerful song. It is to remember those lost and to support those who will be affected by the tragedy the rest of their lives. Survivors, relatives and children who were too young to understand.

Verse 1
Forewarned in times of trouble
Will they not regret, can they bide their time
We stand, arms stretched out
We look, for answers
We struggle against the flow of time
The reason clouding out minds
All these reasons behind
We stand, heads shaking
We look to the sky above
Chorus
On a day you'll not remember
The images in children's eyes will be there
Will be there forever
Forever long
Forever past
Forever now
Are we trying to understand
All the images, spread out on this land
Chorus
We struggle against the flow of time
The reason, clouding our minds
All these reasons behind
We stand, heads shaking
We look, to the sky above
Chorus
