Jack Strange
"Rising"
:[ lyrics ]:
Verse 1:
Rain rain rain wind and rain
On the shores of Pontchartrain
A Mississippi flood plain
Hope the levees hold
Its a hurricane

Verse 2:
Ride ride ride out the storm
Taking chances is the norm
Board the windows bolt the doors
Just like we did
So many times before

Chorus 1:
And now its rising
Its rising and rising
It just keeps rising
But its not surprising
The waters rising
Its rising and rising
It wont stop rising
But its not surprising at all

Verse 3:
Climb climb climb up on the roof
SOS is our truth
Staying here was a goof
They told us so
Now we got our proof

Verse 4:
Fly fly fly fly away
Coast Guard choppers on the way
Where to now we cant say
New Orleans
Aint no place to stay

[Repeat Chorus 1]

Verse 5:
[Instrumental]

Verse 6:
Drain drain drain the city dry
Tear it down and build it high
Make those levees touch the sky
New Orleans
Will never die
New Orleans
Will never die

Chorus 2:
And now its rising
Its rising and rising
It keeps on rising
And its not surprising
The citys rising
Its rising and rising
It wont stop rising
And its not surprising
[Repeat and fade]
