minutes from a warm kiss
five minutes from a moment of joy
a second later it all turns to pain

i refused to believe when i heard
that bird of steel had crashed to the earth
in a ball of flames and no one was saved

those left behind i saw them cry
the victims still live in their hearts and minds
sharing their greif i'm crying too
so scared thinkin' how i'd feel if
i was losing you

chorus:
five minutes away why didn't they come
they were on their way
a warm kiss faded away only five minutes away

so many victims so many young
in the spring of their lives now their future is gone
and i wonder who will the next ones be
you say it's crazy to anticipate
but i'm not bad
it's just that i'd hate to lose someone

cause i saw them cry...those left behind
the victims still live in their hearts and minds
sharing their greif i'm crying too
so scared thinkin' how I'd feel if
i was losing you
