Spirit Of The West - When Rivers Rise lyrics

Peace in the valley has gone As the weather rolls in from the west Storm clouds over the Pacific Will soon put our shores to the test Another Indian Summer is over Here comes the rain It's British Columbia's trademark Come back to haunt us again Move to high ground Seek shelter with friends Wait there and pray that when it all ends Something's left of what you struggled for Something to keep you strong A reason to carry on It's been hard driving rain for days With a forecast as bleak as the sky And the fear in the people and the raging river To both in the cordon rise The order came down to evacuate All those from the danger zone Some walked away from the living And some walk away from their home Move to high ground Seek shelter with friends Wait there and pray that when it all ends Something's left of what you struggled for Something to keep you strong A reason to carry on On a path of destruction Fueled by the rain An act of God or science There's no one to take the blame For a flood that swept through the valley And stole the land With all her power and fury You'd swear that she'd been dammed Move to high ground Seek shelter with friends Wait there and pray that when it all ends Something's left of what you struggled for Something to keep you strong A reason to carry on
