I have my mother's dreams, I have my father's eyes
You can't take that from me just go ahead and try
The Crescent City sleeps while giants in the sky
Preparing to unleash, let loose a mighty cry
Can nobody save us? Will anyone try?
The pyre was burning, the severance has died
And all alone they're saying
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Hold my hand, to the sea right there in front of me
Help is on the way
Five thousand feet below as black smoke engulfs the sky
The ocean floor explodes, 11 mothers cry
My bones all resonate, a burning lullaby
You can't take that from me just go ahead and try
She stands at the shoreline with hands in the air
Her words miss the dark light, does anyone care?
And all alone they're saying
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Hold my hand, to the sea right there in front of me
Help is on the way
Right here, right here
Right here, right here
Right here, right here
Choking on the black gold upon which we here rely
We keep actions in the attics to see cameras in the sky
Help is on the way they said, they said
Help is on the way they said, they said
We were told, just to sit tight
'Cause somebody will soon arrive
Help is on the way
Well, they never came
They never came
Help is on the way
(They said they said)
Help is on the way
(They said they said)
Hold my hand, to the sea right there in front of me
Help is on the way
On the way

Correct lyrics: I have my mother's dreams, I have my father's eyes, You can't take that from me, Just go ahead and try. The crescent city sleeps, While giants in the sky, Preparing to unleash, Let loose a mighty cry. Can nobody save us? Will anyone try? The bayou is burning, The cypress has died. And all along they're saying. Help is on the way (They said, they said) Help is on the way (They said, they said) One by land, two by sea. Right there in front of me. Help is on the way. Five thousand feet below, As black smoke engulfs the sky, The ocean floor explodes, Eleven mothers cry. My bones all resonate, A burning lullaby, You can't take that from me, Just go ahead and try. She stands at the shoreline, With hands in the air, Her words pierce the dark night, Does anyone care? And all along they say it. Help is on the way (They said, they said) Help is on the way (They said, they said) One by land, two by sea. Right there in front of me. Help is on the way. Right here! Right here! [x3] Choking on the black gold, Upon which we rely, We keep axes in the attics, To see cameras in the sky. Help is on the way (They said, they said) Help is on the way (They said, they said) We were told just to sit tight, Cause somebody will soon arrive. Help is on the way. But it never came! It never came! Help is on the way (They said, they said) Help is on the way (They said, they said) One by land, two by sea. Right there in front of me. Help is on the way. On the way.

Actually, is's "actions", not "axes". Other than that, it's all right.

Yeah, that's correct down to every last letter, albeit with missing punctuation.

Corrections: Crescent City - not cursed city While giants in the sky - not ions The Bayou is burning, the cypress has died - not pyre and severance She stands on the shoreline We keep axes in the attic - not actions
