THE WORLD CHANGED TODAY
© Audrey Auld 9/13/2001 (APRA)I’m filled with tears
I don’t know why I cryBut in a turn of the hand
Too many people died
All that I believed in
Doesn’t seem so sure
And everything that mattered
Doesn’t matter anymoreCause the world changed today
The world changed today
In a message to America
The world changed forever todayA monument
Turned to ash and sand
They desecrate the very
Pillars of the land
Shattered on a weekday
All the nine-to-fives
The bitter dust will settle
On everybody’s livesCause the world changed today
The world changed today
In a message to America
The world changed forever todayIt’s different now
The shadows hold new fears
The circle has been broken
The soldiers fight their tears
Out across the oceans
There’s people just like me
Who pray and cry and wonder why
They murder to be freeI’m grieving for
No-one that I know
Save for every beating heart
Every John Doe
No amount of money
Could settle this score
But all the love in all the world
Could bring the end of warCause the world changed today
The world changed today
In a message to America
The world changed forever todayThe world changed today
The world changed today
In a message to America
The world changed forever todayIn a message to America
My world changed forever today
