Louisiana, storm's gone through
What's the state going to do
No water, no supplies
Where's the help in the sky
Louisiana, what are you going to do
Your people will make it through
Chorus 1
You can stand and stare, you can look in the air, where did these people go?
They have no homes, have no jobs, some living on the road
We will rise, rise again. We will rise, rise again
Gretna's, a one bull town
Karita has run of it now
Hope She doesn't run us down
Storm destroyed our towns
Now look for simple things
Anything the postman brings
Chorus 2
Things just ain't the same, no one's to blame, where do we go from here?
No hospital care, people try to share, spirit provides the cheer
We will rise, rise again. We will rise, rise again
This storm, this storm can destroy our things
This storm, this storm can not destroy our inner beings
We will survive, will survive, our towns will thrive
This torture can not last, this day will be in the past
Louisiana, we're cheering for you, your people will make it through
Louisiana, we're here for you, Tell us what we can do
