The quake had brought out the best in us
Neighbor helping neighbor, in God we trust
So much kindness and all this good feeling
Had warmed up my heart, and sent my head reeling
I said “people are nice” as I got on the freeway
I moved over a lane to give a guy leeway
My faith was restored, no more would I scoff
When he gave me the finger and cut me right off!
