Gulfside Seminar Participants
July 2011
Gulfside empowering community for change
Gulfside we got a history to claim
Gulfside flattened by the hurricane
Guflside, the foundation still the same
Some people lost
Some people gained
Look at Thad Cochran
His house still the same
FEMA gave checks
How many you got
I got two
Ebony sell crack
Ivory sell powder
Ebony get the time
While Ivory just fine
Five years later,
Ebony plead out
Who’s on the board
Ivory no doubt
Repeat Chorus
Children and Seniors are lacking dough
Rebuilding their homes is moving too slow
Choosin’ tween kids who need seeds to grown
And seniors tilled the soil to whom we owe
Too many people takin guidance from below
Mixed up priorites are stealing the show
Raising our voices like we’ve done befo’
Reclaiming the vision of the one who glows
Repeat Chorus
Gulfside, the buildings are gone
Gulfside, but the spirit lives on
Gulfside, a family, community
Gulfside, still giving opportunity
First night to fun night, to college tours it’s all right
Gulfside, it’s a beacon of light.
From the beginning, a place of possibility
Continuing to be, a place of unity.
Repeat Chorus Twice
