While Texas is Drowning

While Texas is downing,
Is there no one who's listening?

To The Voice Of Our Mother, 
To The Cries And Petitiioning

So Many Are Homeless, 
So Many Are Hungry
So Many Dreams Shattered, 
So Many Hopes Drowned

So Many Hearts Broken, 
Too Many Words Spoken
No Roofs On Our Houses, 
We Sleep On The Ground

Are We Deaf, Are We Blind, 
Are We Out Of Our Mind?
Leave Our Friends And Companions 
In Such A Tight Bind? 

Let Us Reach For Connection, 
Be People Of Action
No Empty Promise, 
Just The Strength Of Our Arms

Cause The Climate Is Changing 
And We All Need Protection

That’s Enough Of Deflection 
And Political Charm 

Are We Deaf, Are We Blind, 
Are We Out Of Our Mind?
Will We Make The Hard Choices 
Or Be Left Behind?

While Texas Is Drowing, 
And The West Coast Is Burning
Our Mother Is Teaching, 
Are We Hiding Or Learning?

We Are In This Together, 
No Matter The Reasons
There ‘Re No Angels Or Demons, 
It’s Just Me And You 
There ’Re No Angels Or Demons, 
It’s Just Me And You
