I Wonder What I Missed Today...

I wonder what I missed that day
When it stopped and closed its eyes
And as they joined together
Sealed shut with all the lies

I wonder what I missed today
Did I loose the chance to live
I lost the chance to shine today
The education they could give

I wonder what I missed today
As I drowned the seven seas
Oceans swam red today
As I swam in this disease

I wonder what I missed today
Did he march to Germany
I saw the camera flash today
Sealed shut, I did not see

I wonder what I missed today
Did he ever feel the road
I cant remember anything today
Did he make it on his own?

I wonder what I missed today
Did she ever taste freedom so sweet
Or is she still trapped intoxicated?
Knowing her passion and pain will meet

I wonder what I missed today
I wonder if he ever built his ark
And did the animals come two by two
Did a Porsche graze outside his 20 bedroom ark

I wonder what I missed today
Did he walk straight by thin air
I wonder if it whistled loud enough
We could all hear

I wonder what I missed that day
As the streams blazed in the sun
And the rivers ran red
Wondering has tomorrow even begun?
