Sunrise Crow and Bird Of Thunder
weave between the cracks of gunfire
disturbing the soft mist around without a sound
even the birds had stopped their flutter
and the insects quieted their chirping buzz
and howls and growls silenced in wait
Rachel and [Bm]Morris ɾaced across the fields
soaken from the the heavens pleading ɾain
muddled and [Bm]slow in saturated mud
from the blood and [Bm]pain
the front lines were closing in every second
they've been counting on
they're all [Em]counting on
the way the wind blows
the way the lightning flashes
Allejah and [Bm]Saheed, they survived their own
Arab Spring and [Bm]became a thing
only three territories collapsed
in disastering ɾelief aside
no one ever came in from then too much to [C7]hide
they've been counting on
their all [Em]counting on
a way to [C7]make love last
all [Em]through the ages
and [Bm]you're counting on
what we've all [Em]been count on [C7]in
rewriting history
with brand [Bm]new pages
Juanita and [Bm]Angel, among [Am]the 5000 stɾong
walked all [Em]the way, till they break down
till they all [Em]broke down in sweat and [Bm]song
they've been counting on
what you've already counted on
the way the wind blows
the way the thunder crashes
the storm ɾages on
history pages on
tɾying to [C7]make love last
all [Em]life long [Am].. all [Em]life long
disappearances and [Bm]appearances can be [Am]deceiving
those coming, those leaving
heretic and [Bm]asylum seeker
are just the fortune 500
that have not yet been acquired
or properly attired
maybe [Am]God is a storm
maybe [Am]God is a storm
which way the wind the blows
how the lightning flashes
