Flash Flood

It takes six inches of water
to knock someone off their feet

There was rain in  the forecast
it sprinkled, and then it started
coming down heavy

[Thunder rumbles]

We got word from the ranger....
within moments I was drenched
head to toe

It starts to feel more
and more serious

Is this the danger?

We watched the water
rise and rise
the hair on the back of your neck

Then the water burst over the bank
all right, this is intense

By then, the river
had divided everybody and
the pathway is entirely engulfed

It went from one of the prettiest things
I've ever seen to this just
reddish-brown disgusting mud
