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." | MP3.com CD: Fresh From The Desert - buy it!

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.
