(Tim Wright)
Verse 1:
I was born and raised in the City of New Orleans
It's a place where the music flows and the people feel free
But everything changed when Katrina hit our shores
It left a trail of destruction, and it broke my heart
Pre-Chorus:
But amidst the chaos, there was a glimmer of hope
Amidst all the hurt, there was a healing love
And the story of Katrina, was a story of faith
It was a story of a God who never fails
Chorus:
Now we stand together, rebuilding our lives
With a hope in our hearts and a melody in our stride
We've survived Katrina, and we've come out strong
We've learned to trust in God, and we'll never be alone
Verse 2:
We've seen the worst, but we've also seen the best
The kindness of strangers and helping of friends
Through all the trials and all the tribulations
Our spirit remains unbroken, and our soul still sings
Pre-Chorus:
But amidst the chaos, there was a glimmer of hope
Amidst all the hurt, there was a healing love
And the story of Katrina, was a story of faith
It was a story of a God who never fails
Chorus:
Now we stand together, rebuilding our lives
With a hope in our hearts and a melody in our stride
We've survived Katrina, and we've come out strong
We've learned to trust in God, and we'll never be alone
Bridge:
New Orleans, we rise from the ashes
We dust ourselves off and get ready to dance again
We've got the blues in our blood and the jazz in our soul
We're the City that Never Dies, and we won't give up
Chorus:
Now we stand together, rebuilding our lives
With a hope in our hearts and a melody in our stride
We've survived Katrina, and we've come out strong
We've learned to trust in God, and we'll never be alone
Outro:
So let's sing the story of Katrina
Let's tell the tale of resilience and faith
Let's remind ourselves of what we've overcome
And let's never forget how God carried us through
