    THIS SONG WAS WRITTEN MANY YEARS AGO, BUT IN LIGHT OF THE TRAGEDY THAT HIT OUR NATION AT THE WORLD TRADE CENTER, I THOUGHT IT WAS MEANINGFUL AT THIS TIME. "The sorrow was too deep, the fires burned so hot, that Peter Jennings on the evening news tonight, he cried alot. He couldn't understand how this great land could lose it's touch."

    Story Behind the Song
    This song was written in 1993 and is somewhat prophetic, given the lyric about the rising stock market. Has America given up the ghost? What do you think?

    Lyrics
    CRY OF PETER JENNINGS

    The sorrow was too deep
    The fires burned so hot that
    Peter Jennings on the evening news tonight
    He cried alot.
    He couldn't understand
    How this great land could lose it's touch.

    Gray, cloudy skies
    Stretching from coast to coast
    Should have been a sign
    America has given up her ghost.
    Busy reporting the Dow & Jones
    Going from least to most.

    If the Son isn’t worshipped
    If the Son isn’t worshipped
    America, you can’t see a brighter day
    If the Son isn’t worshipped
    If the Son isn’t worshipped
    America, you won’t see a brighter day

    Cut down too many trees
    Troubled ozone, help us please?
    I know it's sad when there's no trees
    What will you do if God takes away the seed?
    Save the dolphins, save the planet "Listen man!"
    While your soul is being damned.

    So much love for you and me
    Despite the ever-changing course of our history
    Come along with me, enjoy the Son!
    Can't you smell the fires, can’t you hear the guns?
    Not much time left, the ark's doors will close
    The day and hour no man knows.

    If the Son isn’t worshipped
    If the Son isn’t worshipped
    America, you can’t see a brighter day
    If the Son isn’t worshipped
    If the Son isn’t worshipped
    America, you won’t see a brighter day

    The sorrow was too deep
    The fires burned so hot that
    Peter Jennings on the evening news tonight
    He cried alot.
    He couldn't understand
    How this great land could lose it's touch.
