It's been raining down in this valley for far too long
The water is rising and soon this will all be gone
My mother taught me how to swim, when i was still young
I don't think that that'll help me, but i ain't gonna run
Been burning my belongings, just to keep warm
But this goddamn rain, doing me wrong
The water is rising, my stuff is all but gone
What did i do wrong
This has been my family home now, for more than sixty years
I raised my children in this place, it's filled with laughter and tears
My family have long since gone, i am the last of my name
Everything that i once loved, has been lost to the flames
But no man could make me leave this place, i dare god to try
Sometimes you've gotta stand, where you're willing to die
The fire has burned out, doused by the rain
I am soaked to the bone, but i feel no pain
So leave the water come down, let it do it's worst
I was born of this land, i will return to it's dirt
