But since their visit life isn't the same.
The wind and rain came with insatiable power
Tearing up trees and knocking down towers.
Now I look at what was my home
I can't stay there so I'll have to roam
And find a place to put my head
I'll take the floor if there is no bed.
Some sanctuary would be music to my ears
A place with lock and key to soothe my fears
I'm in need of help to get back on track
And take this load from off my back.
I've fallen without a parachute
My world in tatters, I'm destitute
The story's the same for a million others
We're all trying to lend a hand to each other.
The scars that are left will take time to heel
But we'll work until they're all concealed
Starting at grass-roots and building up
We're a strong people who won't give up.
