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.
