When Rivers Rise

Peace in the valley has gone
As the weather rolls in from the west
Storm clouds over the Pacific
Will soon put our shores to the test

Another Indian Summer is over
Here comes the rain
It's British Columbia's trademark
Come back to haunt us again

Move to high ground
Seek shelter with friends
Wait there and pray that when it all ends
Something's left of what you struggled for
Something to keep you strong
A reason to carry on

It's been hard driving rain for days
With a forecast as bleak as the sky
And the fear in the people and the raging river
To both in the cordon rise

The order came down to evacuate
All those from the danger zone
Some walked away from the living
And some walk away from their home

Move to high ground
Seek shelter with friends
Wait there and pray that when it all ends
Something's left of what you struggled for
Something to keep you strong
A reason to carry on

On a path of destruction
Fueled by the rain
An act of God or science
There's no one to take the blame

For a flood that swept through the valley
And stole the land
With all her power and fury
You'd swear that she'd been dammed

Move to high ground
Seek shelter with friends
Wait there and pray that when it all ends
Something's left of what you struggled for
Something to keep you strong
A reason to carry on
