Muddy Waters - Flood Lyrics
Something terrible happened in my town
And it was hard to know if we would live or drown
Water rushing through our homes like heartache
But I escaped
I escaped.
Rising up from the water like an anchor not thinking
Defying laws of science…surfacing above
The bad people suggested that I reconsider sinking
The good people encouraged me to sing about the flood
Muddy water fighting through the ancient roof
Pots and pans over-flowing
Who would pray for love and who would die for truth?
In times like these, what’s worth knowing?
Children float down streets on make-shift rafts of toys
Parents watch from tents on their roofs
“There’s dry land not far from here,” I scream with all my voice
But they won’t leave until I show proof
Something terrible happened in my town
And it was hard to know why everyone stuck around
It’s been raining now for almost half my life
Most of my loved ones have gone mad
But I find beauty and love in the darkest pools at night
The tragedy requires too much of me to be sad
Rising up from the water like an anchor not thinking
Defying laws of science…surfacing above
Bad people always tell me I should reconsider sinking
But the good people encourage me to sing about the flood
