Son of Abraham

I had a dream this morning, for some reason I was in the midst of efforts to prevent and or clean up from flooding. Then my mind narrowed into a victim of a flood, a young man who at first seemed to be grieving the loss of his ATV which had been parked in the garage but which had been swept away by the flooding. Then a Country Western song came into my head that I believe hasn't been written yet.

Here it is

He stands there watching as the floods sweep it all away
The thrills and rides, his hopes and dreams are gone
Let the water take it all away, it doesn't matter
all is gone

She lay right there
and his daddies eyes
Let it disappear
let it sweep away

His thoughts are churning as he stands on the bay street bridge
his father is man enough to take the blow
Should he give it all away, what does it matter?
hope is gone

She lay right there
and his daddies eyes
Let it disappear
let it sweep away

Son of Abraham, he gasps for breath
drowning now
being swept away

He stands there watching as the floods sweep it all away
His fathers arms grasp a hold of him to stay
Let the water take it all away, it doesn't matter
she's still right here

Son of Abraham, let it sweep away
take your first deep breath
she'll be right there

**All right this is as close as I can get to the song that was randomly playing in my head. Somehow it doesn't come out quite the same when trying to put it down onto the screen.
