Seven Nations

Rain and Thunder

Seven Nations


Some Twenty Days Ago I Left My Family and My Home 
I Buried Everything I Knew and Swam An Ocean Here to You 
Said Goodbye to My Old Friends, For Our Friendship Wouldn't End 
But Nothing Anyone Could do Could Ever Bring Me Back Again 
And I've Got to Make It to the River 
And I've Got to Make It to the Sea 
I Need to do Whatever It Takes to 
To Be Free

A Couple Nights Ago I Had a Dream I Didn't Know 
The People, Places, and the Scenes 
All of Which I'd Yet to See 
We Were Running Through a Field of Grass 
As High Up to the Knee 
Men On Horseback Shouting With Their Guns 
All Pointing Straight At Me

And I've Got to Make It to the River 
And I've Got to Make It to the Sea 
I Need to do Whatever It Takes to 
To Be Free

I Wake At Night to Wonder 
How to 
How to Break Out of This Dream 
Just Like Rain and Thunder 
The Morning Comes to Me

Too Many Nights Have Passed Me Since I Heard a Thunder's Blast 
Without the Rain of Winter Running At the ____ On My Back 
Still These Dreams That Keep Returning Sifthing Through This Midnight's Mask 
Of Silence Deafening My Ears the Meaning of Which I've Yet to Ask

And I've Got to Make It to the River 
And I've Got to Make It to the Sea 
I Need to do Whatever It Takes to 
To Be Free

I Wake At Night and Wonder 
How to How to Break Out of This Dream, Yeah 
Just Like Rain and Thunder 
The Morning Comes For Me
