Katrina's Gone

Katrina's Gone, a song by Leigh Bratina

Photography by Leigh Bratina

It washed away the homes and cars
...washed away the baseball park
...washed away everything we had ever come to love.
Lives filled with disaster, it was more than most could handle
We hit our knees and pleaded to the Lord above
Just know that there's someone out there,
there are those that truly care
As displaced as you are, with certainty we will see that you will find your way home.

Katrina's gone and left her calling card
We shall never forget
These times are so hard and left victim's lives a shattered mess.
The wounds will heal and hearts will mend, don't see it as an end
We have to continue to pray and hoping for the best
Katrina's gone, left so many alone.....Katrina's gone.

It tore lives apart, but brought a nation together
There is a silver lining to everything
And this lesson will live on forever
Reach out to the hands of your loved ones as well as those of a stranger
It takes a country to carry a burden and this we will shoulder together
We will prevail, we will carry on
For Katrina's gone

Katrina's gone and left her calling card
We shall never forget
These times are so hard and left lives a shattered mess
The wounds will heal and hearts will mend, don't see it as an end
We have to continue to pray and hoping for the best
Katrina's gone, left so many alone, Katrina's gone.
We must hold the hands of both strangers and our neighbor
Katrina's gone, left so many alone, Katrina's gone.
