[Verse] The rain came down like a story untold The bridge gave way to the creek’s hold three-hundred-eighty-five stranded cut off and alone But the heart of this community is carved in stone On the 4th fireworks lit the sky The weekend ten died [Prechorus] No FEMA around No rescue to be found No bridge to cross the night Just neighbors with lanterns shining bright [Chorus] Sandy Creek strong We stand We rise Through the flood Through the tears in our eyes When the world looked away We carried on We are Sandy Creek strong [Verse 2] Old man Joe brought his fishing boat Mrs. Green cooked meals from a borrowed coat Kids made signs “We’ll make it through” Hope can float when it’s all you’ve got to do [Prechorus] No FEMA in sight The bridge returns, our guiding light With neighbors' hands and H-E-B's grace We rebuild from this shattered place [Chorus] Sandy Creek strong We stand We rise Through the flood Through the tears in our eyes When the world looked away We carried on We are Sandy Creek strong
