Rain And Thunder Lyrics - Seven Nations

Rain and Thunder 

(Kirk McLeod) 

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, swore our friendships 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 

And I need to do whatever 

It takes to, to be free 

A couple nights ago I had a dream I didn't know 

People, places, and the scenes all of which I'd yet to see 

We were running through a field of grasses high up to the knee 

Men on horseback shouting with their guns out 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 

And I wake at night an' wonder 

How to, how to break out of this dream, yeah-ah 

Just like rain and thunder 

The morning comes to me 

So many nights have passed me since I heard a thunder's blast 

Or felt the rain and winter running at the wrap around my back 

Still these dreams they keep returning sifting through this midnight's mask 

Of silence deafening my ears, a meaning 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 

And I need to do whatever 

It takes to, to be free 

And I wake at night an' wonder 

How to, how to break out of this dream, yeah-ah 

Just like rain and thunder 

The morning comes to me
