They'Ll Rise and Shine

The monster rose out of the sea, Intent on devastation. The wreckage it left in its wake-- Beyond imagination! The world looks dark and dismal, now. Heartbreak, on every hand. A world of rubble and debris, Where once was sun and sand. But this night is not forever; There will dawn a brighter day. The Gulf Coast sun will shine again, And drive the gloom away. We'll rally 'round and lend a hand, For we're all kith and kin. We'll work upon the fallen things, Till they're rebuilt again. The human spirit will prevail. When this tribulation's done, This land will rise up from its ruin, And gleam in a new day's sun.
