Did you s[F]shout out in anger
In [C]fear for your neighbor,
Or [Am]did you just sit down and [F]cry? [G]

And [G]pray for the ones who don't [C]know?
Did you re[C]rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
And [G]sob for the ones left be[C]below?
Did you [F]burst out with pride
For the R[C]Red, White, and Blue
