Houston calling

1. HOUSTON CALLING


As I was watching the late news

I saw the magnitude of the hurricanes

Carrying heavy rain

And that storm came roaring down

Flooding peoples homes in Houston town

With that heavy rain


I felt a sadness in my heart

This was predicted by the ones who care

And a call out for the ignorant

We all now face An inconvenient truth

And we all know, what we ought to do

What we all must do


I hear Houson calling

Oh, the water´s falling down, down, down (down, down, down)

And flooding the whole town

And my heart is crying

Oh, that storm is tearing houses down (down, down, down)

And flooding the whole town


O say, can you see

That Star-Spangled Banner lead the way again

You know I was a faithful friend

You people of the brave and the free

It´s time to rise and show your quality

That is what the world should need


I hear Houston calling

Oh, the water´s falling down, down, down (down, down, down)

And flooding the whole town

Just like a fountain of sorrow

Oh, that storm is tearing houses down (down, down, down)

And flooding the whole town

Just like a fountain of sorrow

My heart is crying



Houston calling,
