- Help Is On The Way LyricsI have my mother's dreams
I have my father's eyes
You can't take that from me
Just go ahead and try
The crescent city sleeps
While giants in the sky
Preparing to unleash
Let loose a mighty cry
Can nobody save us?
Will anyone try?
The bayou is burning
The cypress has died
And all along they're saying
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
One by land, two by sea
Right there in front of me
Help is on the way
Five thousand feet below
As black smoke engulfs the sky
The ocean floor explodes
Eleven mothers cry
My bones all resonate
A burning lullaby
You can't take that from me
Just go ahead and try
She stands at the shoreline,
With hands in the air,
Her words pierce the dark light,
"Does anyone care?"
And all along they're saying
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
One by land, two by sea,
Right there in front of me
Help is on the way
Right here! Right here! [x3]
Choking on the black gold,
Upon which we rely
We keep axes in the attics
To see cameras in the sky
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
We were told just to sit tight
Cause somebody will soon arrive
Help is on the way
But it never came
It never came
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
One by land, two by sea,
Right there in front of me.
Help is on the way!
On the way!
On the way!
On the way!
I have my father's eyes
You can't take that from me
Just go ahead and try
The crescent city sleeps
While giants in the sky
Preparing to unleash
Let loose a mighty cry
Can nobody save us?
Will anyone try?
The bayou is burning
The cypress has died
And all along they're saying
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
One by land, two by sea
Right there in front of me
Help is on the way
Five thousand feet below
As black smoke engulfs the sky
The ocean floor explodes
Eleven mothers cry
My bones all resonate
A burning lullaby
You can't take that from me
Just go ahead and try
She stands at the shoreline,
With hands in the air,
Her words pierce the dark light,
"Does anyone care?"
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
One by land, two by sea,
Right there in front of me
Help is on the way
Right here! Right here! [x3]
Choking on the black gold,
Upon which we rely
We keep axes in the attics
To see cameras in the sky
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
We were told just to sit tight
Cause somebody will soon arrive
Help is on the way
But it never came
It never came
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
One by land, two by sea,
Right there in front of me.
Help is on the way!
On the way!
On the way!
On the way!

It's about the BP oil spill. Ten thousand feet below as black smoke (oil) engulfs the sky, the ocean floor explodes (drill burst) 11 mothers cry (11 rig workers were killed in the explosion).
