Lyrics

On an Ordinary Tuesday
Copyright©2001

On an Ordinary Tuesday,
Through an ordinary Sky,
They road on stolen silver arrows.
I can still see them fly.
Through the long and frozen hours,
On a day of disbelief,
One simple human question,
In voices filled with grief.

Did you lose someone?
Did you lose someone?
Did you lose someone?
I lost them all,!
Yes we lost them all!
Oh we lost them all!

Break
Tonight the stars are clear and cool!
There's autumn in the wind.
Each fallen leaf is like a sole
That won't come home again.
And they've gone into our memory,
Through the doors of history,
Let us pray for understanding
Virtuos victory!

Did you lose someone?
Oh did you lose someone?
Did you lose someone?
I lost them all!
Yes we lost them all!
Oh we lost them all!
Break
The towers fell, fell and fell,
Crumbling to the ground!
We'll remember all of our lives!,
And not forget the sound
Friend and loved ones, gone forever,
Disappearing right before our eyes!

Did you lose someone?
Oh did you lose someone?
Did you lose someone?
I lost them all!
Yes we lost them all!
Oh we lost them all!
