Verse 1

The wild winds tear out in the night

As Maria rips the roofs off with all of her might.

Destroying everything she can

Till the people cry out in vain and fright

The rain, then mud it falls and falls

I cannot clear the image out

 

Chorus

Gonna take a lot to keep me away from there

There's a lot that 100 men can do

Gonna take some time to make it right again.

I hate the wind down in Dominica

 

Verse 2

The wind is deafening, the air it seethes 

Of dirt, scrap and trees.

I must do - not let it be

Diablotin still rises above the Sea

They need so much I can't comprehend 

It will take years to build their land again.

 

Chorus

Gonna take a lot to keep me away from there

There's a lot that 100 men can do

Gonna take some time to make it right again.

I hate the wind down in Dominica
