THE SUMMER OF 2008


Where were you when the river rose?
I was running for higher ground.
Where were you when the river rose?
Was bagging sand with other men.
Where were you when the river rose?
I was crying on the shore.
Where were you when the river rose?
Was packing my baby’s things.
Where were you when the river rose?
I was dancing like a fool.
Where were you when the river rose?
On my knees praying No, No, No.
Where were you when the river rose?
