Katrina’s Call
For the ones like me who’ve been displaced
Did you think love could just be replaced?
For the ones who’ve suffered needlessly
Torn apart from their communities
People die inside the Superdome
With the president back at his vacation home
All the trucks of water turned away
While FEMA said, “We’re on the way.”
I cry, I cry
For all the lives
I cry,
For all the lives
I cry,
For all the lives
For the ones too numb inside to care
Bodies in New Orleans everywhere
Photos of the dead they won’t let us see
Keep a sanitized reality
For the ones who could not evacuate
How could we have left them to this fate?
Barbara Bush says the poor are doing well
Has she ever lived through such a hell?
I cry, I cry
For all the lives
I cry,
For all the lives
I cry,
For all the lives
Did your heart break with the levees?
Are the dead in the attic you and me?
We are standing at the crossroads stalled
Will we turn away or heed the call?
Awaken from collective trance
Change while we still have got the chance
Retribution slams us up against the wall
If we don’t heed Katrina’s call
I cry, I cry
For all the lives
I cry,
For all the lives
I cry,
For all the lives
