And it came whirling, swirling, churning and sweeping A monstrous twenty-foot wave With a booming voice and mighty hurt Destroying everything in its way. For hours the waves swept in Devastating her shores Countless people lost their lives From countless faces hot tears poured. It came so fast in swirling rage No time to think, to save themselves The waves so high swept above their heads And swept back with their lives. A heart felt cry echoed throughout ur beautiful island home. The whirling sea swept of the smiles From Sri Lanka's livelihood. Father and mother grieving For their loving children lost. Little children searching everywhere, Searching for their parents lost. A grieving father stands by the sea His dead son in his arms His agony spread throughout the land And touched every man’s heart. The waves destroyed many homes, It swept off many lives. But through this pain and sorrow Our people began to rise. From far away people came To lend a helping hand Humanity poured through the veins Of every man and child. The Tsunami which hit our land On “Uduwap” poya day Has freed us from ourselves Has shown us the correct way. Together all of Sri Lanka Should get over this ordeal Every one working together Regardless of nationality colour and creed. The waves shattered Sri Lanka Yet humanity it could not break. Compassion, love and kindness reached out to all, And gave hope in every way. Oh Tsunami you hit us Expecting us to fall. But we will rise stronger, Much better than before. tsunami
