My Family

the radio reports that an earthquake has it
heavy traffic, a long line of cars on the highway
the whole town must evacuate
helicopters in the sky
the ocean is travelling faster than the speed of light
has anyone seen my family

animals find higher ground
empty shops bars and playgrounds, the flower man is gone
the older generation has been wiped out, and young people aren't coming back
why should they, if another tsunami waves might come again
has anyone seen my family

even the girls in the whore house drowned
they were beautiful angels
they let the men forget about wars and bombs
lack of food and harsh sounds
that little brothel by the sea was not strong enough for the winds that god brought forth
you cannot say that everything happens for a reason
has anyone seen my family

airports, trains, bus stations
an old fishing boat out of commission
texas oil running through the ground
the twin towers crumbling down
everything must change
the weather is not the same everyday
has anyone seen my family

a couple on an african safari shoot a lion, a beautiful lion
he's bleeding,crouching in the tall grass
waiting for the hunters to walk by
his life is slipping away
he has just enough strength to breathe
he was bringing food home to the cubs when he got shot
has anyone seen my family

even the teachers in the school bouse drowned
they were teaching american literature
so one day the kids may grow up and move far away
make something of themselves
that little school house by the water
was not strong enough for the winds that god brought forth
you cannot say that everything happens for a reason
has anyone seen my family

alarm clocks, a nine to five job
domesticate a wild pitbull dog
swimming is prohibited in the lake in the park
there is a search team looking for pretty girl who went missing
she was beautiful and just wanted to be free
has anyone seen this pretty girl
her smile would light up the world
has anyone seen Julie Love
has anyone seen Julie Love
has anyone seen my family
