about

My new song, Flood's Gonna Come, will be released Apr 21, the day before Earth Day, in the wake of ever urgent calls for action on climate change. Co-written with Andy Evans, Flood's Gonna Come imagines earth-destroying extractive industries swept away by a human flood of grief, solidarity and determination. "Feel the power as we flow together. Now's the hour, now's the hour." Join the Flood!

lyrics

VS 1
You see that woman by the dry well coughing the dust away
They stole her water, put it in a bottle, told her she's got to pay
Set fire to the rain forest, killed to clear the land
Now the cattle got space but we got no place
For the basic needs of the human race
What they gonna do when disaster comes
Better run, run, run

CHORUS
Flood's gonna come, gonna come some day
Flood's gonna come, gonna wash them away
Flood's gonna come, we're all gonna pray for the flood to come
Wash them away

VS 2
Gold in the oil well is black as their hearts
Poisoned rainbow spreads on the water. They don’t care – that don’t matter
Cause they got trouble coming they can't understand
A rising tide of humankind, a sea of tears we all have cried
We won't go back, it can't be done
They better run, run, run

CHORUS
Flood's gonna come, gonna come some day
Flood's gonna come, gonna wash them away
Flood's gonna come, we're all gonna pray for the flood to come
Wash them away

BRIDGE
We are the tide that lifts all boats
Fills all hearts, feeds all hopes
Feel the power when we flow together
Now's the hour to make it better
No holding back, cause here we come
They better run, run, run

CHORUS (variation)
Flood's gonna come gonna come some day
Flood's gonna come gonna wash them away
Flood's gonna come, and that's ok

CHORUS
Flood's gonna come, gonna come some day
Flood's gonna come, gonna wash them away
Flood's gonna come, we're all gonna pray for the flood to come
Wash them away
