What Are The Thoughts?
As I look out the window
I wonder what they thought
As a plane came flying toward
Bringing an unexpected death
What are the thoughts of the dying?

As I look at the children playing
I think of the families affected
To have someone taken away
By the cruel hands of man
What are the thoughts of the relatives?

As I look out the window
I think about the people
Who looked out the window
And saw disaster unfold
What are the thoughts of the observers?

As I look at my family
I can't imagine how I would feel
To have some of them torn away
Anger, sadness, helpless
What are the thoughts of the broken hearted?

I look around at the world
At the robbings and the muggings
At the people who don't appreciate
The wonderful gift of life
What are the thoughts of the souless?

I look around at the world
At the trees growing red
Getting ready for next spring
I feel a surge of hope
What are the thoughts of the hopeful?
