(Verse 1) Drowning on land - howlin' at the moon I am a neo native Levees gone - tribal storms Floods hide this legacy Sacrifice coming Black clouds bring the wind Rush to the higher ground Native born -I have soared Nature's fury cries a tear (Chorus 1) On my father's land On his grandfather's land All I see is an ocean Lost my mother's home And a grandmother's hope Still I hear them pray for this neo native (Verse 1) Pale thoughts - proud minds Thunder rules the sky Waiting here for those green painted faces With giant wings they appear A watery tomb subsides We call this place new Orleans Native born - families torn With a grasp we can touch the sky (Chorus 2) So we prayed like job What can one place endure? Now all I feel is the water As the night draws near We're Americans here Ivory towers hear our cry... "Some are still alive" (Bridge) No sight of our brothers - help is too far away d**h surrounds us now - and it has for days Open arms in Dallas - Red Cross refugees "Found” this knave... Rescued at last from an empire's grave (Repeat both Chorus)
