After the Flood
After the flood
There was waste, there was mud
And the wreckage of all of us flailing
Grasping for fragments
Of what we once had
When we were young and life seemed plain sailing
Grasping for dignity
Grasping for hope
Grasping for strength
Just to survive and cope
But it all washed away
In the deluge that day
And we're left high and dry
In its wake
After the flood
We crawled out of the sludge
Like the first from primordial slime
We came to our feet
And we soon learned to speak
All wounds will be healed in due time
Walking onwards to freedom
Onwards with pride
Onwards in pain
With the thorn in our side
Of when all washed away
In the deluge that day
And we took about all
We could take
After the flood
Crawling out of the mud
We foraged to find a new start
Patching the holes
Making new of the old
We pushed 'till we ploughed a new path
Healing the wounded
The damage now done
Building defences
'Till the next flood comes
And it's all washed away
In the deluge again
And we're left high and dry
In its wake
There was waste, there was mud
And the wreckage of all of us flailing
Grasping for fragments
Of what we once had
When we were young and life seemed plain sailing
Grasping for dignity
Grasping for hope
Grasping for strength
Just to survive and cope
But it all washed away
In the deluge that day
And we're left high and dry
In its wake
After the flood
We crawled out of the sludge
Like the first from primordial slime
We came to our feet
And we soon learned to speak
All wounds will be healed in due time
Walking onwards to freedom
Onwards with pride
Onwards in pain
With the thorn in our side
Of when all washed away
In the deluge that day
And we took about all
We could take
After the flood
Crawling out of the mud
We foraged to find a new start
Patching the holes
Making new of the old
We pushed 'till we ploughed a new path
Healing the wounded
The damage now done
Building defences
'Till the next flood comes
And it's all washed away
In the deluge again
And we're left high and dry
In its wake
