Whirlwind

Thunderheads brew in the sky
Your hands are soaked and so are mine
We just can't keep our grip
Sliding down, we start to slip, slip
Away, all grey
We have lost ourselves in all this pain
So we tumble down
The clouds that hold us now
Freeze us til we're both in chains

But you are the whirlwind
You are the whirlwind
Take the sky and make it bend
Grab the clouds and tie them in knots
Lasso the sun and show me what you've got

Strain against the bonds
They will squeeze until you're gone
But you won't go gently tonight
You will rage, rage against the dying of light
So we'll grab the night by the hands
Teach the stars how to dance
You are one with all when you stand
In the eye of the storm
Keep trying for more
Go with the wind and don't give in til you've opened the door

You are what they fear
You are storms when skies are clear
When in the face of death
You will be the one to take her breath
Away, so stay
Do not be afraid of all this rain
The cold will sting your eyes
So you will learn to fly
Without the guiding light of day

Because you are the whirlwind
You are the whirlwind
Take the sky and make it bend
Grab the clouds and tie them in knots
Lasso the sun and show me what you've got

You are the whirlwind
You are the whirlwind
Take the sky and make it bend
Grab the clouds and tie them in knots
Lasso the sun and show me what you've got
