We lost the walls that built the houses that we lived in
we went to war with mother nature and we lost
I still hear the cries of all the innocent children
and wonder why people had to pay that cost
we still have hope
we still choose faith
despite the tragedies we go through
we still know that we'll be safe
and we'll be strong , rebuild this place
we will transform all of this sadness
into smiles upon our face
so we hold our heads even higher
as we walk through the fire
although it seems we're sick and tired
we still look on to better days.
First there was an earthquake then there was a wave
it wiped away our lives right in front of our eyes
along with everything we've gained
dear lord almighty you know that we cant compete
so I'm screaming up to heaven hope you have mercy on me
we still have hope
we still choose faith
despite the tragedies we go through
we still know that we'll be safe
and we'll be strong , rebuild this place
we will transform all of this sadness
into smiles upon our face
so we hold our heads even higher
as we walk through the fire
although it seems we're sick and tired
we still look on to better days. (2X)
with a little unity we all can go higher
with a little hope i know that we can inspire
all we really need is work towards what we truly desire
and then you'll see that we can prevail
