• I remember when the earth stood still,
    My body was numb and I felt ill.
    My hands were shaking as I looked around
    And saw you lying, dead on the ground.
    My brain was so fuzzy I couldn’t see straight
    I couldn’t even tell it was ten till eight.
    I remembered our plans for nine that night
    But now I only feel nothing but fright.
    I hold your hand as the medics come by
    Holding on and thinking, “why god, oh why?”
    Blood is dripping from your hand to mine
    As I keep thing, “why god, oh why?”
    I sit and I cry and I dream about you,
    Wondering if there’s something to do.
    I wonder if you are really dead or just hurt
    I can’t tell, I’m not that alert.
    I can’t even see what is two feet away,
    I just see you getting blown away.
    Now I have to find a way to get by
    As I think to myself, “why god, oh why?”
