Techno Sound Group - New Orleans Lyrics

Down in New Orleans where the blues cries loud
Streets tell stories under the Mardi Gras cloud
Poverty's shadow stretches far and wide
In the heart of the city where hope and despair collide

Oh New Orleans your beauty's bittersweet
With every heartache you still find a beat
Racism's chains and the crime that bleeds
In the land of the free where the blues pleads

Hurricane whispers still haunt the air
Environmental scars show the wear and tear
Wetlands disappearing sea levels rise
In the Crescent City where nature's cry defies

Oh New Orleans your beauty's bittersweet
With every heartache you still find a beat
Racism's chains and the crime that bleeds
In the land of the free where the blues pleads

Trash on the streets like tears in the rain
Floods wash away but the pain remains
The river's power untapped and ignored
In a city that's rich but can't afford

From the jazz clubs to the street parades
The spirit of the people it never fades
But beneath the surface the struggles are real
In the blues of New Orleans life's ordeal

So here's to New Orleans may you find your peace
In the melody of the blues may your sorrows cease
For in every note there's a story untold
Of a city that's resilient strong and bold
