Eleven

Approximately 10 years ago I wrote this song, as a meditation on 9/11/01


Eleven

Entire world turned upside down today
Thoughts and fears, freedoms and fears
Will it ever be the same?
How could I forget you never went away
And that it's by your grace I even live today

And I'll keep waiting for you to come
And I'll keep waiting for you to come
For you to come

I'm living in a dying world
Man next door, what's he live for
Maybe I should learn his name
Physically fine, but what's on the inside?
Why's it take calamity for me to see?

And I'll keep waiting for you to come
And I'll keep waiting for you to come
For you to come

Some questions still remain
What can I do and can it even ease the pain?
But in your word you say to me,
"Child, I've given you the hope, now just be ready."

And I'll keep waiting for you to come
And I'll keep waiting for you to come
For you to come
