There's a force
much bigger than us
In these thundering skies
And in the rain dancing on these thirsty leaves
Far beyond what I can see
or feel against my skin
There's a hush calling
outside my reach
It wets my curiosity
and suggests a hope in my soul
Just as the crow escapes the threatening sound
and eagerly anticipates the worm
There's a far away place
where thunder recedes
and in its place, a promise
of peace.
