Didn't They
Taylor Swift

She walks to school with her arms crossed

It's just another day

At 10 o'clock she hears the screaming

Then finally she sees them


It's scary how things change

And I saw the story on the news

I saw the footage from the roof

I sat down and cried


Didn't she call you

Didn't she need you bad enough?

Was there some reason

Another way up?


Did you not write it down

Just one more thing to do

Where were you

And didn't she pray too?


He kissed his wife goodbye

And took the earliest flight

So he could be home that night

To put his kids to sleep


Down the aisle

Three men walked and said

We're here to die for our God

He stood up and said, That's funny

'Cause my God died for me


I put the magazine down

I read his words out loud

I sat down and cried


Didn't he call you


Didn't he need you bad enough?

Was there some reason

Another way up?


Did you not write it down

Just one more thing to do

Where were you

And didn't he pray too?


The taxis were full up

On the very day of

The rope 100 floors up

Just to come back down


They never thought they'd see the day

The, the tower'd be up in flames

There was nothing left to say

When it all came down


And didn't they call you

Didn't they need you bad enough?

Was there some reason

Another way up?


Did you not write it down

Just one more thing to do

Where were you?

Where were you?

And didn't they pray, oh


I walk to school and I wear a cross

I'm counting every day
