 そのアン・キャラウェーがインド洋の大津波と今年米国のルイジアナなど南部地域を襲ったハリケーン・カトリーナの被災者を支援するために、チャリティーのCDを発刊している。

 すでに津波被災者の支援を目的に以下の歌詞のTsunamiと言うCDを1000円で売っている。日本からはアマゾンで購入が可能。売り上げの大部分はインド洋の大津波の被災者に送られる。ぜひ、多くのひとがこのCDを買って欲しい!

 インド洋津波の犠牲者を追悼するシングルの歌詞は以下の通り。

Who can see the blue the same again
(The Tsunami Song)
Words and Music by
Ann Hampton Callaway

Who can see the blue the same again?
Who can be assured of where or when?
Who, who has heard?
Who, who has known?
Who, who has lost,
Who is now all alone?

How can morning come, can sun still shine?
How can what was loved be left behind?
How can we speak?
How can we live?
How can we go on,
Can we forgive?

Send a wave of love from ev'ry shore
Higher than it's ever been before
Touching the moon
Reaching the stars
Send a wave of love from ev'ry heart so then
Who can see the blue the same again?

 一方、ハリケーン・カトリーナの被災者に対してもキャラウェーは支援を行っているが、以下は、被災者応援歌である。作詞、作曲ともにアン・キャラウェー、以下クリックするだけで応援歌が聴ける! ステレオなど高音質のアンプとスピーカーにつないで聴いて欲しい!

LET THE SAINTS COME MARCHING
For all those who have suffered from Hurricane Katrina

Words and music
By Ann Hampton Callaway

1. Let no one be forgotten
Let no one be left behind
Let our pray'rs be answered
And hope be ours to find
Brothers and sisters
Let the saints come marching in

2. Stronger than winds that swept us
Deeper than water's tide
Love is all around us
And it won't be denied
Brothers and sisters
Let the saints come marching in

REFRAIN
Yes, let love come marching in today
With courage on our side
The ones that have forsaken us
They can run but they can't hide
Let the saints come marching
From all around this land
Let the saints come marching
Ev'ryone lending a helping hand

3. A city lies in waiting
A people in despair
Where were all the leaders
When we needed someone there?
Brothers and sisters
Let the saints come marching in

4. Where are the homes they search for?
What will they find and when?
Believe there is an answer
And the city will rise again
Brothers and sisters
The city will rise again

REFRAIN

BRIDGE
Let this nation's heart and soul awaken
As we heed the call of our fallen city's song
Who, among us, has not been shaken?
Who can stand till all of us stand strong?

CODA
Let the saints come marching in
Let the saints come marching in
Oh, lord I want to be in that number
When the saints come marching in!
Let the saints come marching in!
