All They Wanted To Say Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Call this if you like naïve
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
[Chorus 2]
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
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
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Call this if you like naïve
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
[Chorus 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus 3]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
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
[Chorus 3]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
