City Of Hope
Six Minute Century
Rising tides, there's an approaching storm
The waves crash harder against the docks
Family and friends you much brace for the worst
From the dark clouds that loom on the horizon
The winds scream a horrendous song
As nature's fury moves onshore
Water begins to consume everything
The walls are ripped away
Ravaged by one of history's deadliest storms
We must preserve the memory of those who were lost
Being alive doesn't mean they survived
Affecting rich, old, poor and young
1900
No way to have known
A city of hope
1900
No way to have been warned
A city left in ruins
Shattered dream litter battered streets
But Galveston will forever endure... Galveston
1900
No way to have known
A city of hope
1900
No way to have been warned
A city left in ruins
