Disheartened, defeated…
Your lives uprooted like mighty trees plucked from the earth!
Nature went wild! And you were in the way!
Violated, assaulted, battered
And utterly defenceless you were like children
Unable to protect yourselves from the vicious blows!
The sky turned deadly shades of funereal black;
The sea sent monstrous waves upon a lethal surge;
The wind became a screaming banshee bent upon destruction!
You were forced into a nightmare with no escape
Your beloved homeland was ravaged without mercy
And for far too many there was nowhere to run!
And when the sky finally cleared, and the sea retreated
You wept for what once was…
For all you could see was desolation and you were all alone!
Who would take your hand? Why should anyone care?
How would you pull through? Why go on?
And one by one strangers reached out to you.
Now the tangled mass of hearths and homes
Weighs heavily upon your broken hearts
But you will triumph; you always have!
And out of the rubble you will rise again; you always have!
Into the future you will stride with courage…that’s what you’re made of!
And shoulder-to-shoulder, heart to heart; you will overcome; you always have!
