The "little people" all around the world - While waters rose and vicious winds unfurled - Combined to mourn the loss That sadly came across The airways as Katrina's anger whirled

They felt so helpless as they watched that scene Of refugees and plans that might have been Engulfed in awful pain Amid the pelting rain While they sat safely back - but not serene

They resolved to help all those in need Today is such a time, oh yes, indeed! Katrina's had her say And broke a waterway And left the Gulf Coast there, alone, to bleed!

"What can we do for them?" becomes their cry "But for God's grace that surely could be I!" They count their meager wealth Without a thought for Self And organize their fellows passing by

"The 'widow's mite' is mightier than the crown" Whenever there is need, she will come down Corporations' millions Even U.S. billions Do not relate when "little people" drown
