[Verse 1]
Oh, man
We all walked back to our home, destroyed as we predicted, but we knew rebuilding was not restricted
We could rebuild everything that we had, now we knew that the storm was canned
We all said, "Down with the Storm." We all ended that purge
We all saved others from the deadly Storm Surge
It was comin' down hard, and we lost all our minds, but we managed to end that Lightning Strike
[Chorus]
Rebuild the signs and repair thе cracks
Let's repair so we can go back
Watching all thе ducks return to the pond
The storm was gone by the crack of dawn
Slowly getting back to where we left off
We will not drop down or even stop
We were treated like heroes, not treated like pawns
We beat that storm by the crack of dawn
By the crack of dawn!
[Verse 2]
I knew that storm just made my mind bend, but I know for others
That pain might not end
People in Fort Myers, doing the best they can, to rebuild so this cannot happen again
I praise the hard work on Island Sanibel. I feel bad for those who went through hell
Naples, Sarasota, all those towns working together. Now, we'll be making peace and love forever
[Chorus]
Rebuild the signs and repair the cracks
Let's repair so we can go back
Watching all the ducks return to the pond
The storm was gone by the crack of dawn
Slowly getting back to where we left off
We will not drop down or even stop
We were treated like heroes, not treated like pawns
We beat that storm by the crack of dawn
(Background Message)
We're all working hard, and we know this is tough. A lot of us have the urge to just give up
From the friends we lost, we try to find ways to cope
But I just want all of us to have a lot of hope
[Chorus]
Rebuild the signs and repair the cracks
Let's repair so we can go back
Watching all the ducks return to the pond
The storm was gone by the crack of dawn
Slowly getting back to where we left off
We will not drop down or even stop
We were treated like heroes, not treated like pawns
We beat that storm by the crack of dawn
