Hurricane
Standing at the edge of my town,
Watching all the buildings come tumbling down,
The sun set long ago on this place,
There ain't no stars out there in the darkness.
This is my burden,
This is mine alone to bare,
In the hurricane of your loss and despair.
Back when the sun reigned down on this town,
I ran through the streets wearing laughter as a crown,
I bathed with the warmth of the sun on my face,
Left a smile on every corner and a kindness in every place.
This is my burden,
This is mine alone to bare,
In the hurricane of your loss and despair,
This is my burden,
This is mine alone to bare,
In the hurricane of your loss and despair.
And as the sun crept slowly down,
And darkness spread across the ground,
And all the people they did cry,
But at the wonder why,
And as the dust it swirled around,
I slipped and lost that laughter crown,
The pain, the loss, the fear the tears,
They ran across our dusted cheeks,
The light the dark the long lost spark,
That lit the darkest of the days,
The why, the when, the where, the what,
Once everything we craved was lost.
This is my burden,
This is mine alone to bare,
In the hurricane of your loss and despair,
This is my burden,
This is mine alone to bare,
In the hurricane of your loss and despair.
In the hurricane of your loss and despair.
In the hurricane of your loss and despair.
In the hurricane of your loss and despair.
Watching all the buildings come tumbling down,
The sun set long ago on this place,
There ain't no stars out there in the darkness.
This is my burden,
This is mine alone to bare,
In the hurricane of your loss and despair.
Back when the sun reigned down on this town,
I ran through the streets wearing laughter as a crown,
I bathed with the warmth of the sun on my face,
Left a smile on every corner and a kindness in every place.
This is my burden,
This is mine alone to bare,
In the hurricane of your loss and despair,
This is my burden,
This is mine alone to bare,
In the hurricane of your loss and despair.
And as the sun crept slowly down,
And darkness spread across the ground,
And all the people they did cry,
But at the wonder why,
And as the dust it swirled around,
I slipped and lost that laughter crown,
The pain, the loss, the fear the tears,
They ran across our dusted cheeks,
The light the dark the long lost spark,
That lit the darkest of the days,
The why, the when, the where, the what,
Once everything we craved was lost.
This is my burden,
This is mine alone to bare,
In the hurricane of your loss and despair,
This is my burden,
This is mine alone to bare,
In the hurricane of your loss and despair.
In the hurricane of your loss and despair.
In the hurricane of your loss and despair.
In the hurricane of your loss and despair.
