Help Is On The Way
I have my mother's dreams
I have my father's eyes
You can't take that from me
Just go ahead and try
The crescent city sleeps
While giants in the sky
Preparing to unleash
Let loose a mighty cry
Can nobody save us?
Will anyone try?
The bayou is burning
The cypress is dying
And all along they're saying
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
One by land, two by sea
Right there in front of me
Help is on the way
Five thousand feet below
As black smoke engulfs the sky
The ocean floor explodes
11 mothers cry
My bones all resonate
A burning lullaby
You can't take that from me
Just go ahead and try
She stands at the shoreline
With hands in the air
Her words pierce the dark night
Does anyone care?
And all along they're saying
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
One by land, two by sea
Right there in front of me
Help is on the way
Right here, right here
Right here, right here
Right here, right here
Choking on the black gold
Upon which we rely
We keep axes in the attics
To see cameras in the sky
Help is on the way
They said, they said
Help is on the way
They said, they said
We were told just to sit tight
'Cause somebody will soon arrive
Help is on the way
But it never came
It never came
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
One by land, two by sea
Right there in front of me
Help is on the way
On the way
I have my father's eyes
You can't take that from me
Just go ahead and try
The crescent city sleeps
While giants in the sky
Preparing to unleash
Let loose a mighty cry
Can nobody save us?
Will anyone try?
The bayou is burning
The cypress is dying
And all along they're saying
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
One by land, two by sea
Right there in front of me
Help is on the way
Five thousand feet below
As black smoke engulfs the sky
The ocean floor explodes
11 mothers cry
My bones all resonate
A burning lullaby
You can't take that from me
Just go ahead and try
She stands at the shoreline
With hands in the air
Her words pierce the dark night
Does anyone care?
And all along they're saying
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
One by land, two by sea
Right there in front of me
Help is on the way
Right here, right here
Right here, right here
Right here, right here
Choking on the black gold
Upon which we rely
We keep axes in the attics
To see cameras in the sky
Help is on the way
They said, they said
Help is on the way
They said, they said
We were told just to sit tight
'Cause somebody will soon arrive
Help is on the way
But it never came
It never came
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
One by land, two by sea
Right there in front of me
Help is on the way
On the way
