Written after 9/11, I added my own experience with a natural disaster, a tornado.
we all see so much with hurricanes, etc. I personally saw how people pulled together, hence this song. Have a simple fb video on my fb page that illustrates all this.
As usual any feedback is appreciated. I guess I'd like to know also if the first verse should go second and vice versa.

WHY MUST THERE BE DARKNESS
Fallen trees, my roof torn off, glass across the lawn
It was years ago, but it seems like yesterday
That twister pulled apart so many lives back then
But people pulled together just the same
WHY MUST THERE BE DARKNESS before we see the light?
Do we have to wait til trouble’s on the way
Deep inside we’re all the same with spirits burning bright
So WHY MUST THERE BE DARKNESS before we see the light?
I still recall the shock I felt when I stared at my TV
As I watched that plane explode into the tower
If only for a moment we were all as one
From that tragedy there came our finest hour
CH
One thing I have learned as I walk through this life
Things don’t always go the way you plan
But the God that made us human will guide us through the storm
And we show His love when we lend a helping hand

I would not change the verses at all. I particularly like the harmonies. I like and respect the story line..it is very touching.
