Hurricane 

VERSE 1 
Traffic jam on highway 45 
They are running for their lives 
But she has stayed, strangely unafraid 
She wonders just how many left there are 
Up and down the littered streets 
Just a few old cars 
And some crazies on the beach 

CHORUS 
Round and round and round in the sky 
Twirling faster toward the eye 
Eye of God where man has spit 
And now God laughs because of it 
Round and round and round, she may die 
But she would give her life to see the glory passing by 
See the glory passing by 

VERSE 2 
A little tin roof flies off into space 
Sand stings her face she’s crying in the rain  
Mighty Hurricane 
Can you hear this heart of grief 
Break the walls and come inside 
Sweep the meanness from the streets 
Let it crumble in the tide 
CH 

VERSE 3 
Through the looking glass she goes 
Floating cars and flying clothes 
tangled in debris, at the mercy of the sea 
The crazies find her on the beach 
With newsmen running to get through 
Has she touched beyond her reach 
Does she know more than she knew 

BRIDGE 
Everyone says why, why would a young girl stay 
Well I can’t explain but if I were that brave I would do the same 
Ride out a hurricane. . . round and round and round in the sky 
She would give her life to see the glory passing by 
See the glory passing by see the glory passing by
