Hurricane Katrina as Song Lyrics
Verse 1:
The change of Katrina blew in from the sea,
A tempest of fury.
With her rage she tore through homes and towns,
Leaving chaos and ruin in her wake, then absence of sound.
Chorus:
Oh, Katrina, oh, Katrina,
Why did you have to come this way?
You left us with nothing, took everything,
And we were left with nothing to say.
Verse 2:
Amid the storm, a spirit arose,
A bond of kinship, that only disaster knows.
The people of the Gulf Coast, they came together,
Helping each other through years of stormy weather.
Chorus:
Oh, Katrina, oh, Katrina,
Why did you have to come this way?
You left us with nothing, took everything,
And we were left with nothing to say.
Verse 3:
As the waters receded, the truth was revealed,
A land of devastation, a world unhealed.
The people were left with nothing but each other,
And a spirit of resilience that no storm could smother.
Chorus:
Oh, Katrina, oh, Katrina,
Why did you have to come this way?
You left us with nothing, took everything,
And we were left with nothing to say.
Verse 4:
But the people of the Gulf Coast did not surrender,
They stood strong, and together they remembered.
Their love for their land, and for each other too,
And so they rebuilt, and started anew.
Chorus:
Oh, Katrina, oh, Katrina,
Why did you have to come this way?
You left us with nothing, took everything,
But we’ll stand strong, come what may.
