Songs for the Katrina victims...

[CatBoreal]

...epitomize the tragedy for you. I just heard this one and burst into tears.

Love Shines

disappointed on a cold and weary day
all the little angels have left and gone away
crystal is the water that's running down your face
is pale just like the moonlight on this sad and lonely place

broken hearted and with reason to be
a cruel and twisted blow from whichever way you see
man was made to suffer and a woman left to grieve
it makes it hard for even the strongest to believe

love shines on everything
love shines on you
love shines on every little thing

circumstances have led us to the edge
broken our wings and given us minds to think instead
with the sky above us and the black old earth below
we're all left here stranded but there's one thing we must know

broken hearted on this planet of decay
watchin' mother nature just choke and die away
man has made a prison from a place called paradise
and you could be the jailor if you don't think twice


Dave Stewart

I've heard others mention:

Out of the ruins
Out from the wreckage
Can’t make the same mistake this time
We are the children
The last generation
We are the ones they left behind
And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear till nothing else remains

We don’t need another hero
We don’t need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the thunderdome

Looking for something we can rely on
There’s got to be something better out there
Love and compassion, their day is coming
All else are castles built in the air
And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear till nothing else remains
All the children say

We don’t need another hero
We don’t need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the thunderdome

What do we do with our lives
We leave only a mark
Will our story shine like a life
Or end in the dark
Give it all or nothing

- Tina Turner

Anyone have any others?
