HURRICANE WATERS - CITIZEN COPE ~ IN MEMORY OF JOE HOLLOWAY SR.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Citizen_Cope.jpg

My daughter, Sarah, introduced me to Citizen Cope a couple of years ago...and, this particular song has been stuck in my head ever since then. Being on a point on the bay that was completely destroyed by the unbelievable surge during Hurricane Ivan and living in a home built by Mr. Joe has compelled me to somehow send him a thank you for me to be able to be enjoying the fruits of his labour is very humbling...HIs home, his dream was washed away during their nightmare night in the attic....It took a couple of years, but he rebuilt it. It never became quite what it was...but, to see what this man endured and then to not give up is a major lesson in tenacity and perseverence...(to be continued)

WooHoo..I just discovered the zoom on my new camera today...so, go ahead and laugh at my first try at zooming...tooo funny..but, awe the water colours at sunset and twilight...and, now, there is a big full moon on the bay...not enough hours in a day it seems..There are some really rough edges in this little production..Prepare to get dizzy..lol

Just another workstudy in my journey of videography..I make videos to bring honour to the song and the artiste..to spread the message, especially when a song gives much glory to our creation and Our Creator...

The message in this great tune makes me think of all the folks who have survived major destruction...Thank you Citizen Cope for the gift.

For me, the lyrics..I will carry you through the hurricane waters..represents Our Protector speaking to our spirits as we face each day...our own personal hurricanes, not to mention the real deal...the rainbows represents God's promises to us...the papyrus plant is the plant that was used to make Moses little basket on the river..

The battered remnants of Mr. Joe's dock...

~slyflight~ Dan..I was sure thinking about you on this full moon night...and, wondering which moon is this?

We will lift my brother, Michael up on this tune...I know God has a plan and is carrying my brother through.

LYRICS:

I will carry you through the hurricane waters
And I'll remember you in the blue skies
I will carry you through the hurricane waters
And I'll remember you in the blue skies

Something happens when
You're caught searching for an answer
When you're stuck in the middle
Of a place that you don't belong
When you start to lose sight of what's right and wrong
When we started it was innocent
'Cause when we started it was innocent

I will carry you through the hurricane waters
And I'll remember you in the blue skies
I will carry you through the hurricane waters
And I'll remember you in the blue skies

Until we meet again
Until it's like it was
Until then
Until the answers start raining down
Until the skies open up until the trumpet starts
Until then
Until the city and the county ain't divided
Until then
Until the spirit and the mind ain't fighting
Until the scenes of tomarrow and today finally play

I will carry you through the hurricane waters
And I'll remember you in the blue skies
I will carry you through the hurricane waters
And I'll remember you in the blue skies
