Lyrics
~::INTERLUDE::~
I do this for my state, my love is Alabama baby
This is my Dixie belle, my sweet southern lady
~::FIRST VERSE::~
I do this for Alabama, we stand tall, we stand proud
These storms won’t ever knock us down
God can send the twisters in the day, in the night
We’ll recover, we'll stand together we fight
You can stop the south, we here forever
We love our state, our people, we stand together
And if you come try to blow us down
We shall weather it all, and stick around
The government said we was a disaster area
But they wasn’t here when these storms got scarier
When you couldn’t know if your family was still alive
We shall survive through the night, we shall survive
Nature took our family, our homes, and our friends
Let’s hold together, keep riding around the bend
In the eye of the storm, no one can hear your screams
Cant see you in the wind, life was torn at the seams
~::CHORUS::~
In the eye of the storm, we can’t hear ya screams
Ya souls blown away, we still on ya team
Picking up the debris, to find a way
To get on with our lives today
Everyone cruising round, looking at disaster
Many at their church, praying with they pastor
We shall rebuild, we shall overcome
Now that Alabama’s been turned into a slum ( AS IN death, destruction, rubble, etc.)
Alabama is a slum
~::SECOND VERSE::~
God save us, provide support and blessing
Alabama takes a violent hit, we're all confessing
Storms took our homes, they took our lives
Many don’t know how they'll survive
Orphans not knowing where their parents are
Choppers flying over, surveying all from afar
National Guard everywhere as we try to find a way
As our state goes down, all of us screaming mayday
Looking for hope in any place,
When ya lost it all, you can’t look ya self in the face
Too hard to overcome, some will give in
Some will give it all, so we can still win
Please don’t remorse, don’t have no regrets,
We shall recover at all costs, that you can bet
~::CHORUS::~
~::FINAL VERSE::~
Whole families gone from this earth
Some won’t see their children give birth
As the double days of twisters tore us apart
We must stick together, please act with your heart
We can all have a new start, rebuild what’s lost
We shall be great once again, at any cost
Everyone thinking we have been weakened
Don’t show them the heartache and pain they seeking
Stand tall, proud, southern and great
To fall apart, is not Alabama’s fate
Their are kids out their, helping to rebuild our towns
Scrapping debris from Alabama’s grounds
Shout out to Colby Johnson, strong from the start
Moving mountains with his heart, the light in the dark
The light in the dark, the light in the dark
~::CHORUS x 3::~
