[00:34.429]September 9, 2001
[00:36.273]Gary and I were skating at a hospital on top of a huge hill overlooking a valley
[00:40.398]An ambulance came and took out a dead woman
[00:42.898]Gary asked me why she wasn't moving or blinking
[00:45.462]They hadn't closed her eyes yet
[00:50.491]She must have died on the way, a car full of family and friends came in with the ambulance
[00:54.867]They were all crying and hugging each other
[00:57.116]One woman screamed hysterically and grabbed at the woman's body, asking her to wake up
[01:07.153]I had to tell Gary that her soul went to Heaven
[01:09.402]I didn't believe a word of it, but I knew it'd be easier for him to understand
[01:13.324]Two days from now, at 9 AM, two planes will hit the World Trade Center, killing over 3,000 people
[01:19.012]I will tell Gary that there is no God, and all of this is meaningless
[01:23.387]But today, there is a God, and he has a plan for him
[01:29.345]He doesn't know it, but a year from now, our family will be torn apart
[01:33.189]And I will move far away and won't see or talk to him for five years
[01:37.580]And as we sit on the hood of our car, the sun goes down and he asks me what I want out of my life
[01:43.340]I tell him I don't know
[01:45.043]On and on we run away
[01:50.212]From the things we are afraid of
[02:00.029]On and on we run away
[02:04.701]From the things we are afraid of
[02:14.551]On and on we run away
[02:19.191]From the things we are afraid
[02:22.530]-
[02:29.142]I don't tell him about the dream I had the night before
[02:31.844]Where I'm riding in a car full of strangers and singing to some song I've never heard
[02:35.773]And smoking a cigarette and we swerve off the road and hit a tree
[02:39.220]I go through the windshield and hit the edge of a fence, dislocating my jaw and flipping me into a wall
[02:44.481]Where my neck is broken, and my skull is fractured, I bleed to death in excruciating pain
[02:56.010]I will have this dream periodically until I meet all of the strangers one by one
[02:59.838]Introducing them all to each other until we are a close group of friends
[03:03.136]I will set these events in motion, and I will die
[03:06.081]But today in the warm light of the sunset, I don't see it
[03:10.009]I just see the sunset, I smile back and shake my head
[03:13.846]I have absolutely no idea, I am afraid
