Lyrics:

(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
Death 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)
