Out in the yard with your wife and children, working on some stage in LA

Did you stand there in shock at the site of that black smoke Rising against
that blue sky
F C
Am F
Did you shout out in anger in fear for your neighbor, or did you just sit
down and cry

G C
Did you weep for the children who lost their dear love ones or pray for the
ones who don't know
C
G C
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble and sob for the
ones left below
F C
Did you burst out in pride for the Red White and Blue
F C
And the heroes who died just doing what they do
F C
Am F
Did you look up to Heaven for some kind of answer and look at yourself and
what really matters
