1. The sky rained upon us at dawn
With clouds gathered on the horizon

2. It thundered with a wailing thunder
Like the wailing of a bereaved mother

3. It zigzagged with twisting winds
That brought downpour back to the valley

4. And our people barely survived
From the terrible and harsh disaster

5. Some had no choice but to breach the wall
And take refuge in an abandoned cave

6. Some called out for rescue while drowning
Their cries echoed yet unheard

7. The roof poured on us nonstop
With tears of anguish unneglected

8. As if it was a sin to see
Any part of earth left dry

9. A torrent came fierce and intense
And all coming towards it reversed

10. Uprooting all palms on its way
And boulders it came across it hauled

11. As if in its midst it carried
Pregnant mountains ready to give birth

12. Thus many landmarks it left altered
And many a guide returned confused

13. We thank you God for saving us
Thankful we are for your grace

14. Say to the sky lighten and thunder
For we have returned home safe
