lyrics

After the flood
There was waste, there was mud
And the wreckage of all of us flailing

Grasping for fragments
Of what we once had
When we were young and life seemed plain sailing

Grasping for dignity
Grasping for hope
Grasping for strength
Just to survive and cope

But it all washed away
In the deluge that day
And we're left high and dry
In its wake

After the flood
We crawled out of the sludge
Like the first from primordial slime

We came to our feet
And we soon learned to speak
All wounds will be healed in due time

Walking onwards to freedom
Onwards with pride
Onwards in pain
With the thorn in our side

Of when all washed away
In the deluge that day
And we took about all
We could take

After the flood
Crawling out of the mud
We foraged to find a new start

Patching the holes
Making new of the old
We pushed 'till we ploughed a new path

Healing the wounded
The damage now done
Building defences
'Till the next flood comes

And it's all washed away
In the deluge again
And we're left high and dry
In its wake
