No it's not the Zep track....it's a bit of blues Reg style thinking of those poor folk who survived the levee breaking in New Orleans but had nothing and had lost loved ones.......
When the Levee Breaks (Lyrics)
oh She is beautiful even dressed in rags
she got a dream oh that lady she got a dream

Her mother lost her son when the water come
she got nothing left but she can still dream

Her Daddy works hard
although he hasn't a dime
He weeps but his still got his dream

they have nothing but the cloths they stand in
Since the water and washed away everything, everything but their dream

They live, in New Orleans right by the  delta ,where the levee broke , washing away everything, everything, everything gone 
but it couldn't wash away their dreams
they held on
On to their dreams, on to their dreams, on to their dreams, on to their dreams, on to their dreams, they held on, on to their dreams, their still got their dream

Their still there,  they got belief, belief, in a dream
their dream, their dream,
they got belief, they got belief, they got belief in their dreams
When the Levee Breaks

I am really impressed with your singing! Looks like you are putting everything in your voice. Seriously impressed...
I also love the minimal arrangement with the two guitars. It is more than enough. More instruments and you would ruin the song! Good choice!

Thanks for posting. Great song before going to bed.

Mental Note: I have to try to make a song with a echo guitar. I have to try to make a song with a echo guitar. I have to try to make a song with a echo guitar. I have to try to make a song with a echo guitar. I have to try to make a song with a echo guitar. I have to try to make a song with a echo guitar. I have to try to make a song with a echo guitar. I have to try to make a song with a echo guitar. I have to try to make a song with a echo guitar...

Excellent vocals Trevor.
Nice work on the lyrics and guitars, overall just a great effort.
The expression and inflection in your voice makes the song.
Fine work my friend.
