Broken people get recycled, and I hope that I will Sometimes we're thrown off our pathways What I thought was my way home Wasn't the place I know I'm not afraid of changing, I'm certain nothing's certain What we own becomes our prison My possessions will be gone Back to where they came from Blame, no one is to blame As natural as the rain that falls Here comes the flood again See the rock that you hold onto, is it gonna save you? When the earth begins to crumble Why do you feel you have to hold on? Imagine if you let go Blame, no one is to blame As natural as the rain that falls Here comes the flood again Wash away the weight that pulls you down Ride the waves that free you from the dusk Don't trust your eyes, it's easy to believe them Know in your heart that you can leave your prison Don't trust your mind, it's not always listening Turn on the lights, and feel the ancient rhythm Don't trust your eyes, it's easy to believe them Know in your heart that you can leave your prison Blame, no one is to blame As natural as the rain that falls Here comes the flood again

My folks own the land round here And our big old house now for some fifty odd years We'd all seen a few rough days But I never dreamed I'd watch it all get swept away No one knows what causes angry rain The water rushed right through this town just like a great big train Years of hard work and memories Are floatin' down big river on their way out to sea. After the flood After the flood The land it washed away Felt like my flesh and blood I'd rather be shovelin' Through the slush and mud Than to leave my home Where I grew up Life goes on After the flood The Clover Inn Bar was hit pretty hard The piano's lyin' in the street broken apart My favorite old oak tree's rooted up But I'll plant myself a new one after the flood After the flood After the flood The land it washed away Felt like my flesh and blood I'd rather be shovelin' Through the slush and mud Than to leave my home Where I grew up Life goes on After the flood A place to call your very own Means so much Though it's a little soggy After all the water's gone I'll scrub it clean And make it home again A natural disaster can't hold nothin' on me Their quakin' out west and freezin' back east So I think I'll stick around And show a little faith in a weary town After the flood After the flood The land it washed away Felt like my flesh and blood I'd rather be shovelin' Through the slush and mud Than to leave my home Where I grew up Life goes on After the flood After the flood After the flood The land it washed away Felt like my flesh and blood I'd rather be shovelin' Through the slush and mud Than to leave my home Where I grew up Life goes on After the flood

We've been in seasons of drought We've drawn from so many waters But, still we're parched like a desert Our hearts are still desperate We've heard of One who can save We've heard of One who can fill us And though we've wandered away We're longing for Jesus Let the empty wells Stay empty still Every broken cistern Never give us fill That our feet may run On the heights back to the One Who always will May we taste and see That every other thing leaves us dry May we taste and see That You alone satisfy May we taste and see That You're the only way to life, God You alone satisfy us Let the empty wells Stay empty still Every broken cistern Never give us fill That our feet may run On the heights back to the One Who always will May we taste and see That every other thing leaves us dry May we taste and see That You alone satisfy May we taste and see That You're the only way to life, God You alone satisfy us Flood the banks Fill your people Flood the banks Fill your people Flood the banks Fill your people O, Mighty River, flow Flood the banks Fill your people We're dry and weary souls Flood the banks Fill your people O, Mighty River, flow Flood the banks Fill your people We're dry and weary souls Flood the banks Fill your people O, Mighty River, flow Flood the banks Fill your people We're dry and weary souls We're dry and weary souls We're dry and weary souls May we taste and see That every other thing leaves us dry May we taste and see That You alone satisfy May we taste and see That You're the only way to life, God You alone satisfy us You're the only way to life, God You alone satisfy us You alone satisfy You alone You alone satisfy You alone You alone give us life Flood the banks Fill your people Flood the banks Fill your people Flood the banks Fill your people

Here comes the flood again Watch it fall from the sky Feel it soak through my flesh and my blood Feel it burn in my eyes When I say how much more can I take I know the water's rising up Watch the waves crest and break And though I may not make a sound I fear that I may drown I fear that I may drown Here comes the wind again Cold that cuts to the bone Pack my bags and I'll head out the door Here I am on my own When I say how much more can I stand? I know my walls are falling down I let the rocks who chose the sand And though I know one left to blame Still I cursed your name I cursed your name So now the end What I've been running from Though I've tried I cannot lift my head Oh, what have I become? When I say how much more can I take? I know my time is running short I am broken and I'm breaking Though I've worn myself so thin Coming home again And though I do not know my heart But I know myself into my bones But if my bones should come apart Then I'll have nothing left to give But if you take me in Coming home again And if you take me in Coming home again

Mornings from the east This time infallibly In the morning In great understanding Enlightened There is no new beginning No alternative end There is no such meaning for this There is no plan B How quiet we are these evenings It leaves your palms passive And I survey through your runaway eyes And your tones of goodbyes And you find yourself dreaming In the small hour minute The fingers fumble the leavings If there's something left to give And you lay your body rest On the side of the sea Just to be able to escape While I'm still asleep We look for another view Mornings from the east This time infallibly In the morning In great understanding Enlightened.
