Rise Again
August 30th, I got the callThe Crescent City had taken the fallAs the waters rose, our people frozeWho will be saved, who will be blamedEveryone said they'd die because of colorBut let's forget about class and raceThe people of the South will rise againThrough the heat, the water, and the hazeThe man won't help, he left them all aloneAs they wonder if they'll ever see their homesThese people are yours, these people are mineIt's the day the sun refused to shineWe'll rise againWe'll rise againOnce again, we'll see the saints march inOur brothers, our sistersOur parents and friendsTomorrow the sun will rise againThe storm is gone and we will rise againAs a nation we all reach for the skiesFor the lives taken, for the levees breakin'Reach out your hand to help your fellow manTo feed the elderly, or a crying babyTo answer the cries of "Why didn't they save me?"Letras de cancionesSome tried to make it about black and whiteBut side by side the refugees uniteI heard people say they should have left with what they seeAs they watch from the comfort of their color TVMaybe some day again it will be fineBut for now the sun refuses to shineIf you never saw the bayou bayYou'll never know what was lost that dayThe music, the people, all are goneNo one knows what will happen to Mardi GrasSome call it corrupt, some call it a slumFor me it was my second homeWe'll rise again, we'll rise againOnce again, we'll see the saints march inOur brothers, our sisters, our parents and friendsTomorrow the sun will rise again
