In the Wake of the Storm

Title: "In The Wake of the Storm"

Daddy can I ask you something

Yeah son

When will Rolling Fork be Strong again

Father: When will they be strong again

Yeah

Real soon they coming back

Ok

We will rise, in the wake of the storm

We must be strong.

We must carry on

We will rise, in the wake of the storm

For the lives that were lost, and the souls that we mourn

It's funny how things change from one point to the next

Hit the switch with no warning siren or a text

Now it's ravaging through the city a Beast with no name

I can still remember the sounds of the wind and rain

Relentless devastation how can we survive

For 30 seconds my life flash before my eyes

All we could do was stay together

Pray we make it through hold on tight for dear life knowing what we could lose

And just like that it was over

I don't know how to feel, wondering if it was a dream, how could this be real

But the worst has just begun with the cries and screams

Everything we had is gone or so it seems

If this is one of God's lessons I don't know what it means

But keep the Faith and have hope, it's all in his plans

As they say the stronger the test the greater the man

And we will survive because it's in God's hands

Let's GO

We will rise in the wake of the storm

We must be strong

We must carry on

We will rise in the wake of the storm

We will keep the memories, and the love that was born

Now shocked with grief you know the pain is real

But the spirit of our town gives us strength to heal

We must stand together, let our bonds grow stronger

May the trauma of our past energize our hunger

To repair our future, and set a new course

You know the process isn't pretty when it's done by force

But against all odds we must see the light

Guided by the beat of love we're soaring to new heights

We've navigated the storm

Binding wounds with love

Sealing bleeding hearts with God's tears of joy

We're sending prayers from our knees to the heavens above

To keep Rolling Fork strong because we are the real Mccoy

If this is one of God's lessons I don't know what it means

But keep the Faith and have hope it's all in his plans

As they say the stronger the test the greater the man

and we will survive because it's in God's hands

Will rise in the wake of the storm

We must stay strong

We must carry on

We will rise in the wake of the storm

For the lives that were lost and the souls that we mour

We will rise in the wake of the storm

we must stay strong

we must carry on

we will rise in the wake of the storm

We live keep the memories, and the love that was born
