	Story Behind the Song Sept. 11th was a turning point in so many ways, including culturally. This song was an attempt to make immediate sense of something nonsensical. Lyrics We wonder what has gone wrong How did it take us so long To finally sing a sad song When there are others crying? We pile our things up so high Ambition touching the sky But no one's thought to ask why You see our spirit dying It starts with a stare people passing everywhere But nobody wants to see him, see him at all And everybody's aware of this single man's despair But nobody wants to need him, need him at all Him at all They tried to take it away To make our selfishness pay With all their violence they say That we are sinners here So now I humbly submit That even their direct hit Can't make that ugly hat fit You can't fight fear with fear It starts with a stare... Is this the age where we'll mourn? Our thorny crowns we'll adorn And wait to hear Gabriel's horn To take our souls away It's funny how when life's rough Your things are never enough And all that shiny new stuff Won't keep some wolves at bay It starts with a stare...
