Analysis of Flood
Kelly Jackson 2002 (Khartoum)
The flood is here
Eroding innocent lives
Creating soul gaps
Befriended chaos
Don't worry earthmate
Good memories live
We can be physically apart
But the waters won't break the bond
Please don't sink
Though the volume is big
Keep your head above
Look ahead for the next
I will hold your hand feelingly
Together we can make it through
