Green Day - Wake me up when September ends

To this day, it upsets me that as Americans out reaction to the tragic killing of our fellow Americans was to react with rage and hate. I am a Christian who actually understands the "turn the other cheek" principle that was taught to me. The intolerance that Muslims are met with all over the world as a result of the actions of a small extremist religious group makes me question just how humane we as humans are. It is undeniable that 09/11 changed America forever, I just question if it was for the better. Wake me up when September ends I feel really gets to this emotion for me. The song expresses the grief I feel with the passing of innocence that I will never have again.
