On February 7, 2008 there was an explosion/fire at the Imperial Sugar Refinery-a part of the Savannah community since 1917.
many were killed and injured- our relatives-our friends...
This song was written in remembrance of the victims. their families and friends, the Imperial Sugar family, and our community.
The inspiration comes from the Oak tree lined road-Oxnard drive -that one travels to enter the refinery.
Those big beautiful oaktrees have been around since 1917-standing together, standing tall, and standing strong.
They teach us a very valuable lesson about going through difficult times!
As you listen to this song , remember us in your prayers and consider lending your support to our cause.
(This song was recorded live at the Savannah Theatre, Savannah, Ga. -Special thanks!)
The Majestic Oaks on Oxnard have been hosts
Greeting us daily for ninety years or more
Watching generations pass beneath their gates
So they cover and protect us today
Helping us move from fear and hiding
To renewal and hope abiding
Believing once more that things will be alright
Picking up pieces of shattered lives, moving from darkness to the light
In their silence the Oaks of Oxnard have much to say
Reach UP for theirin lies your strength
Reach out and take your neighbor by the hand
Together stand tall and work ahead towards better days-there will be brighter days ahead
We are many in this community but our hearts are close
Bound together with love for God, family and oath
When any in this community are faced with a trial
The trial they face affects us all
How do you move from hurt to healing?
From blinding grief to seeing that the sun can appear once again?
How do you move from gloom to glory?
To assurance and not worry?
The Majestic Oaks of Oxnard show the plan
Reach UP for theirin lies your strength
Reach out and take your neighbor by the hand
Together stand tall and work ahead towards better days-there will be brighter days ahead
We remember those who paid the ultimate price
We support those who remain
Who must rebuild their lives
Working together, helping each other
That's how we'll make it through
The Majestic Oaks on Oxnard show the plan
Reach UP for theirin lies your strength
Reach out and take your neighbor by the hand
Together stand tall and work ahead towards better days-there will be brighter days ahead
