Acoustic, Alternative, Singer-Songwriter
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."
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
