[Verse]
Mud on our shoes sky heavy and torn
Rivers angry left the fields forlorn
Hammers echo nails biting through the wood
Hearts rebuild where none thought they could
[Chorus]
Rise rise from the waters scream to the sky
Join hands in the ruins let the fire stay alive
Brick by brick piece by piece we survive
Town’s not the wreck it’s the spirit inside
[Verse]
Shadows danced long when the levee gave
Dreams washed out by the rushing wave
Candles flicker faces worn but strong
Lips cracked still hummin’ that old flood song
[Chorus]
Rise rise from the waters scream to the sky
Join hands in the ruins let the fire stay alive
Brick by brick piece by piece we survive
Town’s not the wreck it’s the spirit inside
[Bridge]
Huddled in the ashes splitting the rain
Hope’s a fragile bird but it lives through pain
Scratched out prayers sifted through their hands
What was broken together understands
[Chorus]
Rise rise from the waters scream to the sky
Join hands in the ruins let the fire stay alive
Brick by brick piece by piece we survive
Town’s not the wreck it’s the spirit inside
