Skyler Derrington is a survivor of the the devastating floods at Camp Mystic in Texas. The 12 years old rewrote Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” with lyrics about her experience. She had the opportunity to perform it on “Fox and Friends”
“I wrote it in honor of all of the girls at our camp, for those that we just lost, to honor them and to remember that God has a plan for all of us,” Skyler says. “Even though rough stuff can happen sometimes, that doesn’t normally happen. There was no blame or fault. Its purpose was to tell and to honor them, and to sing and remind people what happened.”
