Story behind the song
Once the rising water destroyed the City of New Orleans, the hope has been the city will rise again better and stronger - hence the song "Rising."
Lyrics
Sorry I couldn't stay Until December To see how well you grew Rain rain rain wind and rain On the shores of Pontchartrain Mississippi flood plain New Orleans Hurricane Now its rising Rising rising Rising high The waters rising Rising rising Rising high Ride ride ride out the storm Never been this bad before Flood waters at the door New Orleans Easy no more Now its rising Rising rising Rising high The waters rising Rising rising Rising high Drain drain drain the city dry Tear it down and build it high Make those levees touch the sky New Orleans Must never die New Orleans Must never die Now its rising Rising rising Rising high The city's rising Rising rising Rising high (2005)
