The hills are crying

Dedicated to those suffering from flooding
           in West Virginia

The state I love and lived in for so long
Is still that place where love is strong
So despite the floods and moistened air
West Virginians show they care..

The hills are crying and the skies are weeping
The bulging rivers are slowly creeping
Into the yards and past the steeple
West Virginia is losing her  people...

The bodies float and produce a sight
Of those who struggled but lost the fight
Beneath the waves of a flowing creek
A sigh is singing of those who sleep

The hills are crying and the skies are weeping
The bulging rivers are slowly creeping
Into the yards and past the steeple
West Virginia is losing her  people...

West Virginians are brave and true
They'll go a mile or more for you
So if you care to show some love
Reach out to them in these times so tough.

The hills are crying and the skies are weeping
The bulging rivers are slowly creeping
Into the yards and past the steeple
West Virginia is losing her  people...
