about

Der Song von Michael MacNeill ist eine sehr emotionale, spontane Reaktion auf einen Terroranschlag in London. Das Frustrierendste für Texter MacNeill ist, nichts tun zu können. Absolut nichts. - MacNeal kennt die Menschen, die direkt betroffen waren - Freunde, Bekannte, Polizisten, seine Frau ist eine der Rettungssanitäterinnen.

lyrics

All I could Do
(Jeffries / MacNeill)

It’s all I could do
To stop the sound of the sirens
And the sounds of the crying
Holding the hands of the shaking
And those of the dying
Those that were praying
Those that were lying.
It’s all I could do
It’s all I could do

It’s all I could do
To walk in silence
To listen to the streets
Can’t immerse in my own world
Of rhymes and beats
Global success, public defeats
It’s all I could do
It’s all I could do

It’s all I could do
To turn off the screen
And look again to a post
That said save your country
And those you love most
Angels with automatic weapons
And the holy ghost
It’s all I could do
It’s all I could do

To know a name and call it aloud
To sense the misery of the scattering crowd
To celebrate the people
That still make me proud
It’s all I could do
It’s all I could do
