Distant Storm

And when the blaze in your soul is blinding
The mirage in your mind has gone
Fever sky, not a cloud, rolls by
You wait as the drought drags on
While the beating Sun, taunting, day's never done
Thirsty ghost in a blistered dawn

But if you stop waiting, stop all this debating
Start reciprocating, it's exhilarating
Trade this suffocating, baiting, hesitating
For creating, captivating, stimulating

A strike of light below
Let go
A world that lives anew
Shine through
A forest never grows
Higher than the depths it knows
So, as a distant storm
Be born

And by some extraordinary surge of luck and lightening
Miracle and mercy
The world created you: Meant to be a thunderous storm
Someone had to do it, had to listen
Body up electric
Forgive, and let live in life's positive negative
Built to sing a song of night
You broke the darkness with your light
Clearing dust from our eyes
Tending to these skies, and wounds
That we all carry with us when we go
The warmth of sunlight comes and goes
But beauty only grows
When it rains

So, as a distant storm
Be born

A strike of light below
Let go
A world that lives anew
Shine through

So let the storm in your soul be blinding
All the fevers have come and gone
Heart to sky, watch the clouds roll by
Give in to that glistening dawn
And let the beating Sun, promise
Day's never done
And we'll dance as the ghosts move on
