OUTRO -	Piano/Drums: fade out (2:35)

LYRICS:

The start of Armageddon
And it's just another day
We all saw the news
Nothing to say
So many friends are missing
And family members gone
And we all pray to God
Help them be strong
And now we stand together
Remembering that day
The lives we live
Will never be the same

And we don't know why
The innocent die
Will this world ever
Find a way to change?
And we don't know why
But we know it's not right
We don't know why
So many had to die
We don't know why
So many had to die

Hate has turned to others
For their religion or their skin
But hate can't solve
The problem it began
Everyone is angry
People are afraid
And no one knows
What decisions will be made

And we don't know why
The innocent die
Will this world ever
Find a way to change?
And we don't know why
But we know it's not right
We don't know why
So many had to die
We don't know why
So many had to die

We don't know why (Don't know why)
The innocent die (Don't know why)
Will this world ever
Find a way to change?
And we don't know why (Don't know why)
But we know it's not right (Don't know why)
Will any of us
Ever be the same?
Will any of this
Ever be the same?

I don't know why
The innocent die
Will any of us
Ever be the same?
Will any of this
Ever be the same?
