Warplanes fly in terror waves, orders are withdrawn
Horses rear with nostrils flared, a child is stillborn
Am
All afternoon as hell pours down, families stand like rock
CG
Holding hands in fear and rage, reeling with the shock
ChorusEmCD
Who will answer to themselves
EmD
The simple question why?
EmCD
We must search within ourselves
EmC
Beneath the angry sky
Verse 2Em
Nothing moves, the town lies still behind its ruined face
A single oak defiant in the silent marketplace
AmA school of shattered lives inside the broken window panes
CG
The hope of all those burned inside is all that still remains
ChorusEmCD
Who will answer to themselves
EmD
The simple question why?

We must search within ourselves

Beneath the angry sky
