All the Storms

about

35 inches of snow fell yesterday.
Not only did I have time to write a song, but also had some feeling of environmental spookiness write it from.

All the Storms
Words and Music by Michael Alan Silverstone

We’ve had a real cool deal
with our electric tools
and our powered wheels
and when it snows
our rooms stay warm
with foods arrayed in every form

But now
we’re getting near the end
when what’s to come
is not our friend
unless we learn
what we don’t know
and keep on learning as we go

Oh all the storms are raging
now, there’s a war worth waging
the truth ensures without a doubt
our holding on—our holding out

Oh what a mess we’re in
and don’t we know
how hard it’s been
even if what comes
could make it right
it still won’t happen overnight

Oh as the sun beats down
and the rivers dry
in the fields and towns
and the fires consume
and the oceans rise
and the troubles loom
on every side

Oh all the storms are raging
But now there’s a war worth waging
Truth ensured without a doubt
our holding on—our holding out

Oh maybe we will find
some different ways to use these minds
so we don’t have to be afraid
to face the fact
of the mess we’ve made

Oh all the storms are raging
now, there’s a war worth waging
the truth ensures without a doubt
our holding on—our holding out

Oh there’s a world worth keeping
though we’re a species sleeping
waking up is hard to do
but we could if we wanted to
