I have my mother's dreams,
I have my father's eyes,
You can't take that from me,
Just go ahead and try.
The crescent city sleeps,
While giants in the sky,
Preparing to unleash,
Let loose a mighty cry.

Can nobody save us?
Will anyone try?
The bayou is burning,
The cypress has died.
And all along they're saying..

Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
One by land, two by sea
Right there in front of me
Help is on the way

Five thousand feet below,
As black smoke engulfs the sky,
The ocean floor explodes,
Eleven mothers cry.
My bones all resonate,
A burning lullaby,
You can't take that from me,
Just go ahead and try.

She stands at the shoreline
With hands in the air,
Her words pierce the dark night
"Does anyone care?"
And all along they're saying..

Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
One by land, two by sea
Right there in front of me
Help is on the way

Right here! Right here!(x3)


Choking on the black gold,
Upon which we rely,
We keep actions in the attics,
To see cameras in the sky.

Help is on the way
They said, they said
Help is on the way
They said, they said

We were told just to sit tight,
Cause somebody, will soon arrive.
Help is on the way.
But it never came!
It never came..

Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
One by land, two by sea
Right there in front of me
Help is on the way
On the way
