The Pain From Katrina

Mother nature has cursed upon our souls
pain and suffering forever a part
our life has changed within one day
no one can mend the broken heart

this tradgedy is buried deep within
our heart is broken in every crease
everyone's trying to help us cope
but the pain seems to never began to release

walking into a flooded home
causes tears distilling even more
our life, our home, our community
is all buried and gone down to the core

the feeling of going home to an empty lot
back into this parish all alone
the feeling of my friends never coming back
eats me all the way down to the bone

the thoughts of losing all of hope
and trying so hard to forget the past
the thoughts of horrible destructive things
who would've thought it would be our last

remembering the day of watching it all
my life filling with water while I was there
I couldn't comprehend it just that fast
everything just seemed so unfair

as people say that they understand
and give their sympothy with a crying eye
I don't think they know what its like
to live it out and to say goodbye

sometimes I wonder if I'll ever forget
the way my life use to be
sometimes I dream of having it back
our beautiful parish ready to see

but all the hopes and all the dreams
are washed upon the under grounds
all of the smiles and happy days
are gone along with the lights and sounds

how do you except something so big
thats thrown upon your weakest place
how do you expect to ever again
open up into a brand new case
