He Wanted to Say

I... I... I want to... I know that if...

He wanted to say

I am here because I have to be

He wanted to say

I am here for what is right

Every day I wake up knowing

What you've lost and what is owing

I would shed this skin if I could

To stand with you and fight

He wanted to say

I am not who I appear to be

He wanted to say

Do not blame me for my past

We have different lives and faces

But our hearts have common places

This was deep inside me

And you helped me find it at last

Two men meeting

For a moment in the darkness

One turning from—

One waking to—

—America

Two men finding

For a moment in the darkness

They're the same

They're the same

He wanted to say

How I envy you your innocence

He wanted to say

By your side I could be brave

If there's such a thing as justice

Let me help you find your justice

This I do for you and for Sarah

Who lies in her grave

But all he said was

I know how to blow things up. 

Two men meeting

For a moment

In the darkness

For a moment

In the darkness
