a dark day
one cries two,
three cries
one by one the city cries

help is on the way
as we give and as we pray
to relieve your hurting souls
there has got to be a better day soon

water can heal
water can kill
water can save your life
water can cleanse your soul
how precious and precarious

wind can offer a breath of fresh air
wind can uproot a huge tree
wind can cool you on a hot day
wind can blow your house down
how significant and dangerous

lifted up heads and hands
babies being born as others lay to sleep
peace is on our mind
as we weep and pray for you

neighbors helping neighbors
to rebuild a city
a life a love, a legacy
one day at a time
lose everything you will gain it back
lose one soul and the memories are with you forever

you might ask me what do I know
I know the sun rise in the morning
the sun set in the evening
the stars shine bright at night
and God sees everything from above

I know that everything must change
because nothing stays the same
life is a test,
a series of ups and downs
I know it's hard to see it at times but,
change can be good

hold your head up
dry your weeping eyes
you are never alone nor forsaken
even in the midst of your storm
be it physical, emotional, or spiritual

a new day is dawning
one smiles two, three smiles
one by one the city smiles
again!
