Song Description

Song about "Katrina" & the devastating affects it had on New Orleans - loosing everything - irony of all that water & rain - yet none to drink! There's a little hope 0 that people will help - also that God's grace will rain down

Lyrics

Down in New Orleans, Aint got no money & I can't get clean
Down in New Orleans, Women won't love me & the men get mean

Muddy waters as black as ink
Not a drop for me to drink
No running water , electricity
What we got is drowning me

Desperate men & woman too
Had to leave all they knew
That old house made of wood
Stood so tall in our neighborhood

I was taught you must believe
Guard your home & never leave
The warning came just like before
I stood watch by my front door

CHORUS:
Rain down on me, Rain down on me, Rain down on me

Lake waters rise, the rivers bend
Kept rushing down upon my head
No CNN, No government cheese
Could help my family

BRIDGE:
And grace like rain is fallin down on me
Grace like rain - gonna set me free
It's that grace like rain - I will sing - Redemption Day!

Lend your hand to us in need
Practice now the things you preach
Time stands still on the levy
All these years in slavery
(Repeat CHORUS)

Down in New Orleans,
The clouds roll by & I lost my dreams - 2X
