There was an explosion,
I ran to you,
I drove to you,
I heard your cries,
and I tried.
I ran in as you ran out,
Fire, smoke, heat,
Panic, fear, anger, grief,
I heard your cries,
and I tried.
A second crash,
Why? How?
Confusion. What the Hell is going on?
I heard your cries,
and I tried.
Still, I stayed,
One building down,
My friends are gone,
I heard your cries,
and I tried.
The world fell down all around me,
good-bye wife,
good-bye son, good-bye loved ones,
I heard your cries,
and I died.
