Hold Back the Water
Hold Back The Water
Hold back the water
Fight to stop the flood
As we watch the life we've built
Wash away through tears and blood
There's flooded farmland in Kansas
In South Dakota too
The river that gave us all we had
Took away the life we knew
Hold back the water
The Mississippi is overflowing
Hold back the water
The mighty river just keeps on rolling
Hold back the water
We shore up our levees
But then the river breaks them down
Seventeen feet above flood stage
Forced to flee to higher ground
There's more rain in the forecast
No foreseeable end in sight
So we pray for the strength to carry on
For the will to keep up the fight
Hold back the water
The Mississippi is overflowing
Hold back the water
The mighty river just keeps on rolling
Hold back the water
Nearly drowning in pain and fear
We're running for our lives
All we have now are the tears
Nothing left but storm clouds in the sky
Hold back the water
Hold back the water
Hold back the water
Hold back the water
Fight to stop the flood
As we watch the life we've built
Wash away through tears and blood
There's flooded farmland in Kansas
In South Dakota too
The river that gave us all we had
Took away the life we knew
Hold back the water
The Mississippi is overflowing
Hold back the water
The mighty river just keeps on rolling
Hold back the water
We shore up our levees
But then the river breaks them down
Seventeen feet above flood stage
Forced to flee to higher ground
There's more rain in the forecast
No foreseeable end in sight
So we pray for the strength to carry on
For the will to keep up the fight
Hold back the water
The Mississippi is overflowing
Hold back the water
The mighty river just keeps on rolling
Hold back the water
Nearly drowning in pain and fear
We're running for our lives
All we have now are the tears
Nothing left but storm clouds in the sky
Hold back the water
Hold back the water
Hold back the water
