"The Rich Song" by Caedmon's Call

After 9/11, I gradually lost my faith. But before then, I was a Christian and intent on being a good one. In fact, the person I knew who died on 9/11 was someone from church and he was an enormous source of inspiration for me and a lot of other people. But I, unlike those other people, was unable to say things like "He's in heaven." These people were the only people I knew who also knew him and because they were saying things I would never be able to understand or say myself, I felt very isolated. This song, although it has some lyrics that I still don't identify with, was the only source of comfort for me after 9/11, not only because the lyrics show that Christians can doubt God but also because it made me feel I could communicate everything I was (and still am) feeling with Andy directly, wherever he may be. Maybe this piece, The Rich Song by Caedmon's Call, can be a source of comfort for someone else too:

"Whatcha been doing today?
'Cause I've been thinking about you
Just heard some news that set my mind to wandering...And I need to hear your voice..

Cause we miss you
Do you miss us?
What is the language
With which these words I can trust?
That I thank my God
Every time I remember you

Whatcha been thinking about?
Cuz I've been thinking about life
And how nothing can escape the governing of God...
Still somehow that just doesn't comfort me tonight...
I still need to hear your voice

Now I hear you
Do you hear me?
What medium is there
That I can use to make you see?
That I thank my God
Every time I remember you"
