How can we live in the darkness And turn our backs to all the silent pain That no one wants to notice Why is it hard to be caring Why is it hard to lend a helping hand With descency and kindness Is this a world without a soul Falling in a big black hole Here comes the flood Why don't anybody seem to understand Here comes the flood Cleaning up the mess we made the best it can Take a long look at the children Without a chance to ever live a life That's free of hurt and hunger Who's gonna give me an answer Who's gonna show that we can stop the tide For future generation Who's gonna ride the open wave Rebuild the ark and save the day Here comes the flood Why don't anybody seem to understand Here comes the flood Cleaning up the mess we made the best it can Here comes the flood Here comes the flood Here comes the flood End
