What is the old song saying?
Heaven came down and killed my soul.
It is indeed an honor for the McCain to be here tonight.
It's an honor that he showed up tonight.
Regardless of where you're from, I'm glad he showed up.
And it'll be worth it, too.
I don't care who comes up.
He wants to sing.
It's good to be a child of God.
I ain't going to talk very much.
I'll tell you what, it's just good to be the same.
It's good to be the same.
And it's good to be able to invite somebody else to go with me.
And I'm glad that, as my wife has said so many times,
he put it down on the bottom shelf where we all could get to it.
That don't mean it's a secret.
That means it's available.
And I'm glad that it's available.

[C] As the angels sung,
you [F] looked down on the [C] grave,
and you said,
[G] I wonder if I was the answer to [Am] something [F#] that you did not have [F] to [G] see.
[C] He's a stranger [F] of the [Fm] people.
All [C] those [E] roads you've [Am] gone were never [F] where the [G] land [C] was made.
[F#] [C#] He replied,
[F#]
Maybe [C#] you know.
[Fm] Now you see what's [Cm] [A#m] at home where [D#] you reach out and [F#] you give.
[G#] [C#] And tears fall on his shoulders [F#] like never [F#m] before.
And [C#] there's no [F]
doubt [A#m] in me you [D#m] see this [G#] journey [C#] through.
[F#] And the [C#] things that were different on the mountain,
[D#m]
[C#] [F#] on the ship [G#] was part [C#] of [F#] you.
[C#] Standing high above [A#m] the troubles,
