For the survivors of Hurricane Katrina -and all tragedies
|
THE RISING SUN
There is no house in New Orleans;
There is no rising sun.
Hurricane ruined this easy scene.
Oh, Lord, see what she’s done!
Oh, Mother, grab hold of your child;
Can’t ride, gonna have to run.
Mother Nature is running wild;
Gave each wild man a gun.
Oh, Father, guard your family;
You can’t trust anyone.
Fight later, now it’s time to flee;
Brighter days are yet to come.
There’ll be a house in New Orleans;
There’ll be a rising sun.
Proud people always find the means
To do what must be done.
There’ll be a house in New Orleans;
There’ll be a rising sun.
The job is big, it’s not easy
To undo what’s been done.
There’ll be a house in New Orleans -
Remember nine eleven.
Turn from the mud and misery,
And see the rising sun,
And see the rising sun.
(Turn toward the risen Son)
