#HoustonStrong

The winds howled and the sea screamed in pain
And all over the world it began to rain

The rain wasn't merciful, it just wouldn't stop
And if you weren't careful then you'd get caught

It shook all the houses on our tiny block
It rattled the doors and smashed the clock

Look out the window at all of the world
While houses go under in the waters that swirled

There were lost children riding in boats
And guardian angels in yellow rain coats

We all had to go, to run for our life
While the newscasters screamed grab your children and wife

The waves were hungry and we were easy prey
Everyone crying and homes were floating away

But lucky for us Houston is strong
From out on the waters the saviors came along

Not just the police or the firemen's squad
But all living people who were praying to God

They all put on a smile and held out their hands
Taking your family to safe promise lands

And even after the storm was done
and everything ruined we all came as one

We built up the houses and took out the trash
All that had come from the waters angry thrash

And if it weren't for those good women and men
I might not be able to tell this story again

Those kind and gracious beings who weren't anything special
Lent out their lives and became a safety vessel
