Still the miles of gutted homes and FEMA trailers stand as reminders of the losses so many friends, family, neighbors and fellow citizens suffered and continue to suffer, and always the sense of continuing vulnerability looms about this sunken city and its people. Now everything depends on staying dry.

Verse 1:
Throw out the furniture appliances TVs
Flood water gets in everything
Throw out the memories the comforts of the past
Pile them up on the curb more debris

Chorus:
Keep me dry keep me dry
Make me high help me rise above the tide
Keep me dry keep me dry
Make me wise help me climb
The mountain in my mind
Where the tide never rises so high
Keep me dry

Verse 2:
Rip out the floors and walls the wires and the pipes
Salt water eats through anything
Rip out the heart and soul the spirit and the pride
Gut the house air it out let it breathe

[Repeat Chorus]
Keep me dry

Bridge:
When the eye of the storm
Comes ashore let it roar
Let the ocean rage against the sky
Well be home with a prayer
No more running anywhere
The city on the hill will survive
Safe and dry

[Repeat Chorus]
Keep me dry
Keep me dry
