Thunderbird, Lyrics:
The weather of seasons ain’t what it used to be
Autumn and winter manifest their rivalry
Is the eye of the hurricane really full off hummingbirds
Is there a light after this long cold night
The cry of the heavens won’t cease until we change
They say there’d be no rest till judgement day
Until we learn again when to take and how to give
Save our souls from impending doom, the light’s going out
Before our time, would you lead us to the higher ground, old friend
Thunderbird, may you flap your wings and bring the thunder and rain
Take us to the next life on this endless journey
And maybe next time we’ll remember how to live
And bring us that fire that purifies the soul
There’s one last tragedy before the dawn
Tell me why brothers couldn’t seem to get along
In all of written human history
Philosophical stranglehold that keeps us from movin on
Save our souls from impending doom, the light’s going out
Before our time, would you lead us to the higher ground, old friend
Thunderbird, may you flap your wings and bring the thunder and rain
