The water rises higher than the roof,
A town submerged, of broken dreams the proof.
No food to eat, no shelter from the rain,
Cold shivering bodies carrying their pain.
We look across the dark and drowning sea,
And wonder if the leaders see what we see.
Are we forgotten in this deep despair?
Does anyone in high authority care?
Oh chosen leaders, whom we proudly chose,
Look down upon your people's heavy woes!
Open your ears and hear the mournful cry,
Before the remaining hopes we carry die.
We gave our votes, we trusted in your name,
Now in our darkest hour, we do the same.
Extend your hands, come rescue us from fear,
And wipe away the flooding and the tears.
A town submerged, of broken dreams the proof.
