Once the rising water destroyed the City of New Orleans, the hope has been the city will rise again better and stronger - hence the song "Rising."

Verse 1:
Rain rain rain wind and rain
On the shores of Pontchartrain
Mississippi flood plain
New Orleans
Hurricane

Chorus 1:
Now its rising
Rising rising
Rising high
The waters rising
Rising rising
Rising high

Verse 2:
Ride ride ride out the storm
Never been this bad before
Flood waters at the door
New Orleans
Easy no more

[Repeat Chorus 1]

Bridge
[Instrumental]

Verse 3:
Drain drain drain the city dry
Tear it down and build it high
Make those levees touch the sky
New Orleans
Must never die
New Orleans
Must never die

Chorus 2:
Now its rising
Rising rising
Rising high
The citys rising
Rising rising
Rising high
[Repeat and fade]
