In 1994 while working with the American Red Cross and F.E.M.A. during the Northridge Earthquake in Southern California this song was born.
Lyrics
I see veterans of war
who wish they stayed home
I see hungry little children
who wish they had more
what about America
what about this land I love
what about America
what about this land I love
is the answer in each one of us
or in the heavens above
I see people in their eighties
who can't afford to be alive
I see babies having babies
both with tears in their eyes
(repeat chorus)
a friend ask me how
he said he's just one man
I said go ask your neighbor
do they need a helping hand
(repeat chorus)
what about America
what about America
what about America
what about America
