(Verse 1) The rain came down The rivers broke out The trees came down And the power is out (Verse 2) The water rose fast Homes were lost The flood didn't last Now we see the cost (Chorus) We're Appalachian strong We will survive Before too long We will thrive With a backbone of steel We're a hardy band With our stubborn will We'll make a stand (Bridge) (Verse 3) With roads washed out And supplies low Bridges washed our And things moving slow (Verse 4) Our spirit isn't low We won't be broke The flood was a blow But we won't choke (Chorus) (Verse 5) Helene gave her best The clean up can begin Just as in the past We will rise again (Verse 6) We mourn lives lost As we band together No matter the cost We just got stronger (Chorus) (Fade out) Appalachian strong (End)
