Thread Name: New Songs for 9-11-2001
Subject: RE: New Songs for 9-11-01
Had a wonderful conversations with Caroline Paton, Big Mick and others at Getaway about so many current issues and feelings. Left with with just as many unanswered questions, but with a surer feeling that if answers there be, they are still to be found in questions...

I WONDER tune: John Jacob Niles--I Wonder as I Wander

I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How so many people did come for to die
Just ordinary people like you and like I
I wonder as I wander out under the sky

"Twas just any morning out under the sun
As mothers and fathers to work they did run
When out of the sky with a crash and a flame
And the world that we know now will n'er be the same

I wonder as I wander out under the stars
How hatred so vile did travel so far
Choosing targets by chance, they were not known by name
And I wonder as I wander, just who is to blame
