Come hell or high water

That’s the motto ‘round here

Looking at the destruction

That caused so much fear

The river raged hard

And this city knew flood

Now there’s a river of hope

Filled with tears, sweat and blood

Destruction was great

But our faith kept us strong

Though the mud it was sticky

And the hours were long

Shoulder to shoulder

Always hands they could lend

Come hell or high water

Once strangers now friends
