Rising (Demo)

Rain rain rain wind and rain
On the shores of Pontchartrain
A Mississippi flood plain
Hope the levees hold
It's a hurricane

Ride ride ride out the storm
They don't scare us anymore
Listen to the wind roar
Just like it did
So many times before

Now it's rising
It's rising rising
It's rising high
The water's rising
It's rising rising
It's rising high

Climb climb climb up on the roof
SOS to the troops
Staying here was a goof
They told us so
Now we got proof

Fly fly fly fly away
Coast Guard chopper's on the way
Where to now we can't say
New Orleans
Ain't no place to stay

Now it's rising
It's rising rising
It's rising high
The water's rising
It's rising rising
It's 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

And now it's rising
It's rising rising
It's rising high
The city's rising
It's rising rising
It's rising high
