Keep The Faith

Lyrics

As we look all around us and see the damage done,
We know we are not finished.
We've only begun to appreciate our blessings.
We wipe our tears and then we help another neighbor and make another friend.
We've fought the Good Fight, we will win the race.
With quiet strength we've Kept the Faith.

What we wish for at evening tomorrow may not bring.
Our "What ifs" and "If onlys" cannot change a thing.
But our spirit and compassion and greatest one of these is the love
that eases sorrow from the Flood of Centuries.
We've fought the Good Fight, we will win the race.
With quiet strength we've Kept the Faith.

When our cities were flooded with help from volunteers
the Heroes, Angels, Mayors led us in a cheer.
"We'll rebuild our Grand Forks, Greater, and not forgetting the East,
We're all in this together from the greatest to the least."
We've fought the Good Fight, we will win the race.
With quiet strength we've Kept the Faith.

Now we look into the future to see what lies ahead:
We know things will be different on these Rivers, Red.
Yes, our lives have changed forever, they'll never be the same.
Let's sing a song of victory o'er the Water and the Flame. . .
We've fought the Good Fight, we will win the race.
With quiet strength we've Kept the Faith.
