Hurricane Eye

[Verse 1]

Tell us all a story about how it used to be

Make it up and then write it down, just like history

About Goldilocks and the three bears, nature in the crosshairs

About how we all ascended from the deep green sea

[Verse 2]

When it's not too hot, not too cold

Not too meek, not too bold

When it's just right and you add sunlight

Then we're home, finally home

Home in the land of the homeless, finally home

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Oh what are we going to do?

I never did a thing to you

Time peaceful as a hurricane eye

Peaceful as a hurricane eye

[Verse 3]

A history of whispers, a shadow of a horse

Faces painted black in sorrow and remorse

White cloud, black crow, crucifix and arrow

The oldest silence speak the loudest under the deep green sea

When speech becomes a crime, silence leads the spirit

Over the bridge of time, over the bridge of time

I'm walking with my family and the road begins to climb

[Pre-Chorus 2]

And it's oh Lord, how we going to pray?

With crazy angel voices

All night until it's a new day

[Chorus]

Peaceful as a hurricane, peaceful as a hurricane

Peaceful as a hurricane eye

Peaceful as a hurricane, peaceful as a hurricane

Peaceful as a hurricane eye

Peaceful as a hurricane eye

[Outro]

You want to be a leader, you want to change the game?

Turn your back on money, walk away from fame

You want to be a missionary, got that missionary zeal?

Let a stranger change your life, how does it make you feel?

You want to be a writer but you don't know how or when

Find a quiet place, use a humble pen

You want to talk, talk, talk about it all night, squawk about it

The ocean and the atmosphere

Well I've been away for a long time and it looks like a mess around here

And I'll be away for a long time, so here's how the story goes

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe, she was baking a cinnamon pie

She fell asleep in a washing machine, woke up in a hurricane eye
