LYRICS

Take my hand if the water’s getting rough
When the world comes crashing down on us, we’re gonna build it up / with love
We are not forsaken

I weep for those
I weep for those
I weep for those who are weeping

I see your pain
Comes down like rain
You don’t know if you’ll make it / tomorrow

But I  / see
And I  / feel
Knowing that you’re
You’re not forsaken

I pray for those
I pray for those
I pray for those who are weeping

Katrina’s wake
The lives…the lives she takes
The nation is weeping from her story / from her story

Take my hand if the water’s getting rough
When the world comes crashing down on us, we’re gonna build it up / with love
We are not forsaken

But I  / see
And I  / feel
Knowing that you’re
You’re not forsaken

But I  / see
And I  / feel
Knowing that you’re
You’re not forsaken
