A Storm Is Going to Come - Piers Faccini

Black crows circling up above

Crying out, «Do you hear that sound?»

I never thought it’d come to this

Paradise razed to the ground

Sometimes I don’t sleep at night

I hear the wind in the moaning trees

I wonder how my child will fare

With wars and bombs and thieves

The thunder has begun

Some are blind, but choose to see

Lies into the truth they weave

Some put their trust in faith

Some say, «I don’t believe»

But each man unto himself

Is an island in a raging sea

We’re the boat to anchor or sail

Of the two, which will it be?

A storm is gonna come

Who’s the one now watching you?

Who says your rights are wrong?

When the preacher and the judge align

A change is coming, it won’t be long

We may have burned a bridge too far

We may have run ourselves too far

When you look into the mirror, friend

What is it that you want to ask?

Dear Father, when you left me here

You lay your head in eternal sleep

You told me, oh, that all remains

Love is all we have to keep

A storm is gonna come (Find a haven, find a shelter)

A storm is gonna come (Find a port, find a harbor)

A storm is gonna come (Find a friend, find a lover)

A storm is gonna come (Find a sister, find a brother)
