On Orders from God (only verse 2 relates to 9/11)

1. When they cut off the world
Couldn't blame them at all
'Cause it made 'em feel cheap
And it made 'em feel small
But the voice that they heeded
It was just someone's pride
And a little boy suffered
Little Samuel died
CHORUS: Won't you give 'em a sign?
Bring sight to their eyes
Show them that love
Is the light of your way
Please do it soon
Awwh, why not today?
They're saying a baby was starved on orders from God.
2. Lynn was just twenty-five
On a flight to L A
She and Sean dreamed of sunshine
But they flew on the wrong day
September eleventh
In year twenty-oh-one
Young loves tossed in fire
When the horror was done
CHORUS: Give Osama a sign
Bring sight to his eyes
Show him that love
Is the light of your way
Please do it soon
Awwh, why not today?
He's saying the innocents died on orders from God.
On orders from God
On orders from God
The devil, I say, when he tells me his orders're from God.
3. Hear God's voice in the breezes
In the roar of the sea
In the pulse of our heartbeats
In the buzz of a bee
It don't ask for killing
It don't ask for strife
It's a hymn to existence
It's the mystery of life
CHO: Won't you give me a sign
etc.
I'm so tired of madness posing as orders from God.
