lyrics

STORM WARNING
Ernest Johnson / Katie Robinson / Greg Trooper

You can’t change a storm’s direction
I’ll tell you what you can do
You can harness its power
Baby it’s up to you

I’ve built this levee
Built it six years high
The clouds are growing darker
And water’s on the rise

You can feel the thunder
You can feel the thunder
Feel the lightening and thunder
But you won’t see the rain

I am flying over water
I’m being drawn into the heat
On a wind that’s cold and unforgiving
I pray these opposing fronts don’t meet

I look for light in shadows
I look for clouds to part
Rain don’t come any closer
I’m afraid you won’t stop once you start

There’s no clear path I see to take
But I can surely let these rain clouds break
