about

Conceived as we were driving to the airport on Sept 11, 2001 for a flight to see my daughter's wedding. Too much war, too little peace. It's just not right - can't we do better?

lyrics

We’re driving up the road to see the happy day
The sun was shining bright here in the USA
That’s when we go the news, we’ll never be the same
You looked me in the eye, I said this is insane, yes it is.
I can’t tell you how to live your life
But fire and smoke and death just don’t seem right.
We put our shields up, we tried to hunker down
We let our anger out, we shed our tears and drown
We said our hearts forgive, but forgiveness wasn’t found
And so we grabbed a gun and we’re still spinning round.
I can’t tell you how to live your life
But fire and smoke and death just don’t seem right.
Why is it so hard to see the path to set us free
We all come from one tree and I am you and you are me
And so we argue this and we argue that
I think you’re skinny and You think I’m fat
Got my dark glasses on, you got that funny hat
And so the summers go and they’re still not coming back
I can’t tell you how to live your life
But fire and smoke and death just don’t seem right.
