The Santa Barbara Earthquake

歌詞

Way out in California On a hill so tall Was the town of Santa Barbar' They thought would never fall But, on that fatal morning Before the break of day While the people all sleeping The hills began to quake And homes and buildings scrambled When crashing to the ground The town lay all in darkness And life could not be found They were wives and children screaming And dying people everywhere And the people were all praying Oh God please hear our prayers But some of them were sleeping Beneath the fallen stones Their lips were closed forever Never more to cry or mourn When the light found the people with sad and aching hearts They were searching for their families That the earthquake tore apart This is just another warning From God up in the sky To tell all his good people That he still reigns on hgih We cannot tell the moment When he may call at home So we should all be ready Before our time has come
