Tomorrow Come Today
Folder:
Here Comes Hope When liquid meets levee
When water meets wall
When God and Mother Nature disagree
Is when Louisiana’s siren sounds its last call
When hope starts to rust and decay
When skyscrapers and smiles are submersed far below
When memories are flooded and forever washed away
Is when our flag’s true colors start to show
Where was the help when the hurricane hit home?
Where was the president when his people were in poverty and pain?
House all of the homeless in the Superdome
Shelter the citizens from a truth that we can’t explain
Where are the Hornets and Saints going to play?
Where are my family and friends?
Tragedy was not supposed to strike here today
The S.O.S we will still send…but aid won’t arrive till after the angels ascend
…Forever washed away….forever washed away
Tomorrow came today…tomorrow came today…
When ocean meets tears
When tsunamis meet shores
When hopes are replaced by fears
Is when bodies are buried at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico’s floor
When the color turns to gray
When strong turns into weak
When the aftermath is despondently put on display
Is when the world starts to turn the other cheek
Where was the support when Katrina struck New Orleans?
Where was our leader when America was on her deathbed?
Eyes should never have to see these shocking scenes
There is not a band aid big enough to conceal the wretched wounds from the day the beautiful Bayou bled
Where are the children going to play?
Where are the dreamers going to dream?
Catastrophe was not supposed to come today
The prayers we will still send…but they won’t be answered till after the Devils descend
…Forever washed away…forever washed away
Tomorrow came today…tomorrow came today…
…the angels ascend…when will it end?
…the devils descend…it will never end…
…Forever washed away…forever washed away
Tomorrow came today…tomorrow came today…
