...

What words can I sing—
Fling into the void
For those who felt the wing
Of flame
The jets employed?

What clever thing to say
(As I) stand near the abyss?
But in this moment weigh
Small great gifts
As this

And in the smoke and blackness...And in the final fall
You hear us when we cry out
When we’re dying in the horror of it all

There is something bigger... hard to figure (but)
Bigger then us all
You hear us when we're dying and you’re near before we call

You were near before we called

What words can I sing—
Fling into the void
For those who felt the sting
That came
With lives destroyed?

What clever thing to say
(As I) stand near the abyss?
But in this moment weigh
Small great gifts
As this

And in the smoke and blackness...And in the final fall
You hear us when we cry out
When we’re dying in the horror of it all

There is something bigger... hard to figure (but)
Bigger then us all
You hear us when we're dying and you’re near before we call

You were near before we called
