Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Upstream forests cleared, one permit at a time
Machines louder than early warning signs
Approved on paper, legal in form
But the land was changing long before the storm
Roots removed, soil destabilized
Slopes exposed, rivers compromised
They spoke of growth, spoke of progress
But not of risk, loss, or long term cost
Rivers narrowed by erosion and waste
Natural flow reduced, pressure increased
When land use changes without protection
Flood exposure rises this isn’t speculation
Environmental data warned of the risk
Reports written long before the hit
When prevention is delayed or denied
Impact doesn’t disappear it multiplies
[Chorus]
This was not just nature
This was risk left unmanaged
Lives were lost in the flood
Where ecosystems were damaged
Not fate, not chance alone
Not weather in isolation
This was vulnerability increasing
Through human decision making
[Verse 2]
The water rose with little warning
Late hours, families still sleeping
No clear evacuation notice
Confusion moving faster than help was
Some slipped, some disappeared
Some names still left unclaimed
Phones went silent mid goodbye
Help arrived but too late
Parents lifting children above the flow
Dark water, zero visibility
Survival depended on seconds
And on systems that failed to reach in time
This isn’t tragedy for sensation
This is response under strain
Where preparedness gaps
Turn hazard into loss of life
[Chorus]
This was not just nature
Stop reducing it to rain
People didn’t die from weather alone
Risk was built into the terrain
[Verse 3]
After the flood, numbers remain
Statistics replacing human names
“Displaced,” “affected,” “missing”
Terms that don’t carry grief or pain
Families waiting by riverbanks
Communities rebuilding by hand
Volunteers filling the gaps
Where formal response couldn’t stand
Recovery plans are announced
But recovery has its limits
You can rebuild infrastructure
Not lost lives or unfinished futures
And responsibility dissolves into process
Committees, reviews, delays
While the same conditions remain
For this to happen again
[Bridge]
Prevention saves lives.
This is not political it is documented.
[Verse 4]
Let’s speak with accuracy, not blame
This is about systems, not names
When protection is reduced
Exposure increases this is established
Deforestation, weak enforcement
Land use without safeguards
You can’t separate flood impact
From how upstream areas are managed
This isn’t anti development
It’s development done wrong
Because sustainability isn’t optional
When communities live downstream
Risk reduction isn’t blocking progress
It is progress, by design
When lives are valued equally
Across geography and time
[Final Chorus]
This was not just nature
Write it as the record shows
Disaster risk is human shaped
When prevention is postponed
Environmental damage
Turns hazard into loss
And the cost is measured
In lives, not graphs
[Outro]
Say it clearly.
Say it responsibly.
This was not nature alone.
This was preventable risk.
