Chorus:
D C D C D    I know why we cry.
D G D G D    I know why we cry.
C G D G       Feel sympathy and remorse. Let it be.
F C D G D    Our tears that fall unite you and me.

D C D C D    All rivers flow toward the sea.
D C D C D    Seasons change me internally.
D C G           Eternity's for- ever free.
G C D G D    Freedom's for you and me.

D C D C D    We are the same, our joys and pain.
D C D C D    Painful, sometimes, it is to change.
D C G           Changless, though's, our need to drain.
G C D G D    The drainage basin's full again.

{chorus}

D C D C D    Katrina came and blew on through,
D C D C D    Through it's fury New Orleans turned blue.
D C G           Blue- bloods and others flew.
G C D G D    Flew past the old and poor people who

D C D C D    could not make their escape.
D C D C D    Escape the flood or their fate.
D C G           Fatal it was, make no mistake.
G C D G D   Mistakes I hope jolt us awake.

G D Jesus Christ where are you now?
G D Are you hidin' out in the crowd?
G D Jesus Christ are you
A D ever gonna come down?
G D C
D C D C D    A storm is strong, its wind and rain.
D C D C D    Rainfall that floods, causin' pain.
D C G           Painful it feels, fillin' my brain.
G C D G D   Brainstormin' now how to change.

D C D C D    Let's rearrange how we manage.
D C D C D    Managers, pay a living wage.
D C G           Wage peace and set the stage.
G C D G D   The staging ground for the sage.
