One of the most beautiful places on Earth Totally devastated by the devil's breath The Gulf Coast, not devastated by just one storm, but two On the news, I sit glued, as I watch, mass devastation, and even death But the devastation won't keep us down We shall rise again stronger, better, and brand new

Was there a lesson to be learned here? Of course, we learned we can endure And this tragedy will never keep us down The devil's breath, total chaos and devastation This remains very clear Total devastation and destruction, everywhere as I look around

People made to evacuate from the familiar things that they love I think no one wanted to make that kind of choice Looking around, all we can do is pray to the man up above Men, women, children crying for help SSSHHHH! Listen! And you too can hear their pitiful voice

Materialistic things, these can all be replaced But a human life, no amount can pay for such a loss Among the devastation, look up to the sky, so clear and blue Containing clouds as white as lace I can see a ray of hope, for everything that was a loss

We held it together in the time of the Civil War The south arose, weak, but in our hearts we were strong No more storms, please, dear God, please send no more Maybe in time, those displaced can go back to where they belong

Wind, rain, flood waters devastated such a beautiful place Leaving many devastated, frustrated and lost Look at the survivors - no more smiling faces Why were we cosen to pay such a tremendous cost?

We will overcome, and take our rightful place, among the human race The devastation, we will mend We shall again see the sun, causing us all to smile again We can endure and overcome this awful hand dealt to us All this devastation should be a sin

But never fret! The South shall rise again!
