Ash and Water
Lyrics:
Verse 1: Asheville's roads, once clear and dry, now torrents where the rivers cried,
Tractors roar through all the night, pulling cars from muddy plight.
Chainsaws buzz in earnest plea, clearing paths where none could see,
How many souls beneath the silt? Culverts hold the tears they spilt.
Verse 2: Los Angeles, a smoky haze, endless rows of homes ablaze,
A tree so green stands tall alone, mocking the charred and barren homes.
Through the mist, the smoke-filled air, despair hangs thick, yet hope does dare
To whisper soft through blackened leaves, singing songs in toxic air.
Chorus: Hear the heart of mountain and flame,
in lands so different, yet the same,
In every loss and act of grace,
we find the courage in this place.
From the warmth of opened doors,
to the strangers sleeping on floors,
We forge our future, come what may,
in the aftermath of nature's fray.
Bridge: In the quiet after the storm, when the fires have died and waters worn,
The clanging of chains, the smell of rain, stitch the fabric of our pain.
Yet from this grief, where sorrow lies, mountain strength will always rise,
Bound by losses, we stand tall, Asheville's heart won't let us fall.
Verse 3: Green tree amidst the ash, a symbol strong, through smoke it flashes,
A testament to what endures, when all else falls, its life assures.
In the rubble, hope takes root, as we band together and recruit,
New dreams on old foundations cast, in the love that holds us fast.
Chorus: Hear the heart of mountain and flame,
in lands so different, yet the same,
In every loss and act of grace,
we find the courage in this place.
From the warmth of opened doors,
to the strangers sleeping on floors,
We forge our future, come what may,
in the aftermath of nature's fray.
Outro: With every sun
that sets and rises,
amidst our losses, and our prizes,
We find the strength
to start anew, with hearts united, strong and true.
As the ash clears, and floods abate, together we'll rebuild, our only fate,
In every heartache, there's a call, to rise once more, despite the fall.
