Lyrics

Water

Water, water
Risin' all the time
Wadin' through these streets
What used to be my home
All I had is gone

Tell me, won't you tell me, Lord
What shall I do?
Got family here an' there
But I don't know where
All I had is gone

Truly, truly, how can this be?
Paying my dues all these years
To be stranded way down here
All I had is gone

Singin' water, water
Risin' all the time
Wadin' through this city
What used to be my home
All I had is gone

Katrina, Katrina
Have mercy on us all
Shoulda seen you comin'
Now everybody's runnin'
All we had is gone

Singin' water, water
Risin' all the time
Wadin' through these streets
What I used to be my home
All I had is gone

Two Lords have never been
