All They Wanted To Say

I don't know what makes a man

Or a woman even think that

Terror isn't evil

How could anyone have plans

That would guarantee the death of

Thousands of people

And yet as I look back now on what happened

Like the calls from those in planes

They were trapped in

Whatever they felt that day

I love you

That was all they wanted to say

Call this if you like naive

But if I don't threaten your life

Why would you deplore me

Just because I might believe

In a different set of values

You think it unholy

What you must remember in

They were facing

Many feared the worst in calls

They were making

And yet as is shown that day

I love you

That was all they wanted to say

It's a fine line you cross when you talk of a loss

In terms of its market share

There are paintings worth millions gone

Who even cares who'd even dare

Even if your faith in god is now dwindling

Think of those who called up trapped

Inside those buildings

Knowing what before them lay

I love you

That was all they wanted to say

Nobody I think who's been

Caught up in an act of terror

Needs to be reminded

What you can't envisage seeing

Is for some very reason

They are so delighted

Never realized before until this hour

Words however much abused

Have so much power

Think of those who called that day

I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

That was all they wanted to say
