about

Original vocal/piano song performed live by Jeannie Novak. Song dedicated to the people of New Orleans -- from a poem written about Hurricane Katrina.

lyrics

Blue
I see the color blue
And remember warm waves
Flowing through the plains

Red and blue
Colors of a nation
Rising high
Never under water
Swirling close to the sky
Close to our hearts

Our city waits for us now
It’s still there singing
We must look back - feel its pull
Keep on remembering

Our city waits for us now
It’s still there singing
We must look back - feel its pull
Keep on remembering and live on

Over there
Lies a city dormant
Under bodies and souls
Overturning

Love and hope
Over nothing
All that was left is now gone

Our city waits for us now
It’s still there singing
We must look back - feel its pull
Keep on remembering

Our city waits for us now
It’s still there singing
We must look back - feel its pull
Keep on remembering and live on

Moments flew
Helicopters came too late
Lonely souls with
Nowhere to go
The winds have come and gone
Washed the city away

As the blood mixes with tears
Trinkets of water and winds
Innocent lives suddenly taken
Under and over
Flowing water

Blue and red
Our colors
Blood on the water
Blood in my veins

This will not be
Forgotten
Truth will be found
Over and under
Movement and flow
Running water

Our city waits for us now
It’s still there singing
We must look back - feel its pull
Keep on remembering

Our city waits for us now
It’s still there singing
We must look back - feel its pull
Keep on remembering and live on
Keep on remembering and live on
