When you look at Haiti, keep this in mind - In the late 90's, all the top geologists did a survey of the New Madrid Fault in the US. The concensus was that there is a 90 percent chance of a Magnitude 7 or higher quake there, within the next 50 years. That was 10 years ago. All predictions are that memphis would be a total loss, with extensive damage all up and down the Mississippi River basin. It was a 7.0 that destroyed Port au Prince.

You Never Really Know

Have you looked into the eyes of a broken man?
Seen him on his knees and reached out your hand?
Have you done all you can do
To help someone find their way?
Have you felt a sense of loss
Rushed in to help with no regard for the danger?
Have you given unto others
as you hope you might receive some day?
Hey you never really know, now do you man
How this world is gonna turn?
One day your on fire, got a grand plan
then next day you get burned, baby, yeah
break
So when you're watching CNN, take a moment for reflection
What if your whole life suddenly changed direction?
Can you find it in your mind
to imagine your world gone wrong?
You'll find it easier to deal with your meaningless trouble
when you think about that man who lost it all in the rubble
So reach out your hand
join me in my song
Because you never really know, now do you man
How this old world is gonna turn?
One day you're on fire, got a grand plan
then next day you get burned, baby, yeah
One day your on fire, got a grand plan
then next day you get burned, baby, yeah
