BUT IF YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES does it almost feel like nothing changed at all? & if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like you've been here before?
I have my mother's dreams, I have my father's eyes, You can't take that from me, Just go ahead and try. The crescent city sleeps, While giants in the sky, Preparing to unleash, Let loose a mighty cry.
Can nobody save us? Will anyone try? The bayou is burning, The cypress is dying. And all along they're saying.
Help is on the way (They said, they said) Help is on the way (They said, they said) One by land, two by sea. Right there in front of me. Help is on the way.
Five thousand feet below, As black smoke engulfs the sky, The ocean floor explodes, Eleven mothers cry. My bones all resonate, A burning lullaby, You can't take that from me, Just go ahead and try.
She stands at the shoreline, With hands in the air, Her words pierce the dark night, "Does anyone care? " And all along they're saying

I have my mother's dreams,
I have my father's eyes,
You can't take that from me,
Just go ahead and try.
The crescent city sleeps,
While giants in the sky,
Preparing to unleash,
Let loose a mighty cry.
Can nobody save us?
Will anyone try?
The bayou is burning,
The cypress is dying.
And all along they're saying.
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
One by land, two by sea.
Right there in front of me.
Help is on the way.
Five thousand feet below,
As black smoke engulfs the sky,
The ocean floor explodes,
Eleven mothers cry.
My bones all resonate,
A burning lullaby,
You can't take that from me,
Just go ahead and try.
She stands at the shoreline,
With hands in the air,
Her words pierce the dark night,
"Does anyone care? "
And all along they're saying
Help is on the way
