[Title: Imagine It Was You]
[© Ken Reece]
[Verse 1]
It's a truly sad day
The day you have to speed away
From your house engulfed in smoke, black as tar
When your survival depends on your speeding car
[Verse 2]
It's a depressing sight
Your neighborhood in flames at night
Watching from your car as you evacuate
To a shelter somewhere safe, to await your fate
[Pre-chorus]
While some are forced to deal with their grief
The community at large can focus on relief
Embers and flames may be gone
But the hardship is still going on
[Chorus]
Think about how much is at stake
Think about the difference we can all make
Think about a way to help, no matter what you do
Think about how you would feel if it was you
Some day you may need some help too
[Verse 3]
It breaks your heart to come home
And learn it's no longer home
There's nothing left, a whole lifetime gone
You have to figure out how to carry on
[Pre-Chorus]
Worst of all is the loss of lives
Sons and daughters, husbands and wives
Nothing can put us at ease
We hope they will rest in peace
[Chorus]
Think about how much is at stake
Think about the difference we can all make
Think about a way to help, no matter what you do
Think about how you would feel if it was you
Some day you may need some help too
