The Day the Levee Broke: Part 2
And now we're waitin
August 2005
Levy gave way
wanted no man alive.
Water rising all around us
Who has got a cell phone?
Man, they left us here all alone
They left us here on our own.
But, we're still prayin
We are the United States
We braved the storm, the levee
and the man-made mistakes
Can't let child see dome- horrible things
But I'm grateful for the hope
that life brings.
Yes, I'm hopeful for the hope that life brings.
And now we're waitin
