Watching California fall to fire Watching the smoke grow ever higher People losing all Watching as their homes fall Tears in their eyes Reflection of the burning skies Breaks my heart Communities torn apart Voices filled with pain Praying for rain But it won't erase this stain So proud to see How truly strong one can be They stand together to build their strength Together they will...
