I saw cities swallowed by the ocean I saw children crying in the streets Hundreds stranded on the overpass Bodies rotting in the brutal heat
Cries for help fell on deaf ears 5 days passed and no one came Pointing fingers while the people died I saw a nation hang it's head in shame
Have I awakened Deep inside some madman's dream? This is not my country This is not what I believe Have I awakened Deep inside some madman's dream? I can barely recognize The place this used to be
Anarchy in the empty streets The law dissolved like so much smoke A dying prayer for the humanity That washed away when the levees broke
A year went by and nothing changed No justice left for the destitute Abandoned cities, abandoned souls Tomorrow's dream is yesterday's news
