The Battle

We heard your roar and felt your wind Watched the water wash away our lives We were completely at your mercy We tried to run but it wasn't fast enough For here we stand heartbroken This is one battle we have lost Everything we worked so hard for has just vanished Now we are crying out for help For we have no food, homes, or clothes Praying there is still hope to find loved ones God please give us the strength to go on from here We are just people fighting for our lives in a town fighting for it's furture.
