Bruce Guthro Stone By Stone Lyrics

Sky's turning black
I gotta make this happen
Please bring her back
And if you do this for me
Timber by timber
Stone by stone
With your strength I know we'll rebuild

She left me in a panic
I've taking way too much for granted
She said I can't stand this
I have to let go
You know I'd never leave you
But this river is too strong
I can't hold on anymore

I called her name
Cursed the rain
Used my anger all my pain
Gave it all I had
But her hand slipped away
I tried to swim, broke a limb
I held on tightly to our son
I didn't wanna go on
so I prayed

Many days have passed
And I've managed to last
It's time I've accepted she's gone
But I need your resistance
To fight this is reasistance
You know I can do it But I can't do it alone

Waters rising
People crying
Oh and I just keep on trying
To help who I can
But there comes no relief
My heart is breaking
My body is shaking
My God, have my country forsaken me
Forsaken me

Sky's turning black
And I just gotta make this happen
Please bring her back
And if you do this for me

Timber by timber
Stone by stone
In your strength I know
We'll rebuild

Sky's turning black
I gotta make this happen
Please bring her back
If you do this for me
Timber by timber
Stone by stone
With your strength, in my bones
We'll rebuild
New Orleans
Oh, New Orleans
Left me in a panic
Taking way too much for granted
I have to let go
