'Alien Eyes' is about September 11 and all the feelings we had as we went through it. It is dedicated to the victims and their loved ones, to all those who stepped forward to help, and to all the rest of us who will never be the same.

Lyrics
ALIEN EYES Copyright (c) 2006 Eric Severson C Em It was Tuesday, the people went to work F G Am On a bright September morning. C Em The airplanes came, crashed right through the walls, F G Thousands killed without a warning. Am F Watched the buildings burn and plunge into the ground, Am G Watched but did not understand C Em Stood as silent as an alien, F G Am Looking at an unfamiliar land. F G Am Looking at an unfamiliar land. C Em It was Wednesday, we stared in disbelief F G Am Black clouds of ash on the city. C Em Saw a husband crying for his fallen wife, F G In the picture she was pretty. Am F Children asking for their fathers, Am G But the Dads have gone away. C Em Time will heal our hearts, slowly dull the pain, F G Am But we will not forget this day. F G Am We will not forget this day. (CHORUS) F G Am And I’m looking at the world with alien eyes, F G Am Nothing is familiar that I see. F G Am Searching for some truth I might recognize, F G Am Something alien is staring back at me. F G Am Something alien is staring back at me. (BRIDGE) Fmaj7 Em Two days ago, life was innocent and pure Fmaj7 Cmaj7 We were safe within this land. Fmaj7 Em Desperate now to hold on to that dream Fmaj7 G/B Am It just crumbles in my hand. F G Am It just crumbles in my hand. C Em It was Thursday, I tried to get some sleep F G Am Found no comfort in my bed. C Em Is it helplessness that haunts me now, F G Or the anger racing through my head? Am F Who are these people who would hate us so? Am G My thoughts are so unclear. C Em Feel as distant as an alien, F G Am Whose homeland is far away from here. F G Am Whose homeland is far away from here. (CHORUS) F G Am And I’m looking at the world with alien eyes, F G Am Nothing is familiar that I see. F G Am Searching for some truth I might recognize, F G Am Something alien is staring back at me. F G Am Something alien is staring back at me. F G Am Something a
