Miracle In New Orleans

There's trouble in our city

Never imagined this could be

And then came the darkness from the sea

He arrived that morning

And during the rage that was the storm

We kept his tiny body warm

Held him high above the wetness

Strangers shielded him from cold

They helped both young and old

Gave up milk and water

So that a baby could survive

They kept my son alive

That's what true love is

That's what true love is

That's what true love is

That's what true love is

The next two days were endless

The future not secure

An infant's fate unsure

But slowly help was coming

Came from a place both right and wrong

A child's cry grew strong

That's what true love is

That's what true love is

That's what true love is

That's what true love is

And the people came together

To save an unknown boy

They swarmed around and let the love descend

Upon this gentle little heart

And gave a newborn life a grateful start

We signaled to the airmen

We were too small to then perceive

But hope made us believe

And soon a floating carpet

Settled on down its magic slide

And swept us away just like angels glide

That's what true love is

That's what true love is

That's what true love is

That's what true love is

Now we're trying to get on home again

To bring this new life in

We're trying to get back to all that we once knew

Before the hurricane came through

Now the flooding's stopped and there's just him, me, and you

You come in from the bedroom

Having just put him down to sleep

Creeping so not to make a peep

And we are learning slowly

Sharing the gift of how one lives

About what one takes and what one gives

That's what true love is

That's what true love is

That's what true love is

That's what true love is
