When we moved down to the river
We never thought about ‘74
My work my life my community was all built around its shore
It only happened once every hundred years
Surely it couldn’t reach us year
But the rain kept falling, falling down

It would be easy to say that I’m not going to let this get me down
But when the heavens opened up I watched all of my dreams crashing around
With your hand in my hand shoulder to war weary shoulder
Together we’ll be strong Together we’ll move on

Never thought the weather could change the world on a Monday afternoon
Roaring through the valley, a spinning wheel of fortune
I held the ones I loved they were all I had left
Stared at the sky, scared to death
And the water kept rising, rushing by

It would be easy to say that I’m not going to let this get me down
But when the heavens opened up I watched all of my dreams crashing around
With your hand in my hand shoulder to war-weary shoulder
Together we’ll be strong Together we’ll move on

And I don’t care if it came from the sky or the ground
Streets of muddied memories piled high all around
And when I thought I couldn’t move on, that I really wasn’t that strong
I was lifted by an army of strangers smiles

It would be easy to say that I’m not going to let this get me down
But when the heavens opened up I watched all of my dreams crashing around
With your hand in my hand shoulder to war-weary shoulder
Together we’ll be strong

It would be easy to say that I’m not going to let this get me down
But when the heavens opened up I watched all of my dreams crashing around
With your hand in my hand shoulder to war-weary shoulder
Together we’ll be strong Together we’ll move on
