[00:34.828]September 9, 2001
[00:36.810]Gary and I were skating at a hospital on top of a huge hill overlooking a valley
[00:40.939]An ambulance came and took out a dead woman
[00:43.394]Gary asked me why she wasn't moving or blinking
[00:45.858]They hadn't closed her eyes yet
[00:51.041]She must have died on the way, a car full of family and friends came in with the ambulance
[00:55.353]They were all crying and hugging each other
[00:57.601]One woman screamed hysterically and grabbed at the woman's body, asking her to wake up
[01:07.486]I had to tell Gary that her soul went to Heaven
[01:09.968]I didn't believe a word of it, but I knew it'd be easier for him to understand
[01:13.782]Two days from now, at 9 AM, two planes will hit the World Trade Center, killing over 3,000 people
[01:19.539]I will tell Gary that there is no God, and all of this is meaningless
[01:23.604]But today, there is a God, and he has a plan for him
[01:29.929]He doesn't know it, but a year from now, our family will be torn apart
[01:33.658]And I will move far away and won't see or talk to him for five years
[01:38.103]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
[01:43.788]I tell him I don't know
[01:45.484]On and on we run away
[01:50.531]From the things we are afraid of
[02:00.269]On and on we run away
[02:05.084]From the things we are afraid of
[02:14.802]On and on we run away
[02:19.572]From the things we are afraid
[02:29.614]I don't tell him about the dream I had the night before
[02:32.622]Where I'm riding in a car full of strangers and singing to some song I've never heard
[02:36.922]And smoking a cigarette and we swerve off the road and hit a tree
[02:40.143]I go through the windshield and hit the edge of a fence, dislocating my jaw and flipping me into a wall
[02:45.086]Where my neck is broken, and my skull is fractured, I bleed to death in excruciating pain
[02:56.398]I will have this dream periodically until I meet all of the strangers one by one
[03:00.340]Introducing them all to each other until we are a close group of friends
[03:03.881]I will set these events in motion, and I will die
[03:07.061]But today in the warm light of the sunset, I don't see it
[03:10.625]I just see the sunset, I smile back and shake my head
[03:14.475]I have absolutely no idea, I am afraid
