Ciara - Down in New Orleans...

Mardi Gras Down In New Orleans

People gather around
Everyone comes together
You make your best friend for the day
Knowing you’ll never meet again
People yelling for their beads
Bands playing to the beat
Joy just floating in the air
Floats passing by
no one is shy
People come from everywhere
It’s a time we all share

Ciara, age 17
