I got a well so deep, it can never be filled
I got a river, and no matter how steep, it can run up a hill
And the river of tears that I weep of happiness, it’s ready to spill
Yeah
Like a waterfall’s waves, flowin’ along
I got a love of the bay, I got a love of the song
And the tempest of change we have waited for has come
Yeah
Mothers and fathers, ready or not
Like a bridge over water, we’re goin’ across
Sons and daughters, all is not lost
I say, the storm is on its way
The storm is on its way, the storm is on its way
The storm is on its way, the storm is on its way
The storm is on its way, the storm is on its way
The storm is on its way, the storm is on its way
Though, the flourishing bay has a desert become
The clouds shall awaken, and rain like a storm
And the dams they have made shall be damned and be overrun
Oooh, ooh
Mothers and fathers, ready or not
Like a bridge over water, we’re going across
Sons and daughters, all is not lost
I say
Mothers and fathers, ready or not
Like a bridge over water, we’re going across
Sons and daughters, all is not lost
I say, the storm is on its way
The storm is on its way, the storm is on its way
The storm is on its way, the storm is on its way
The storm is on its way
The storm is on its way, the storm is on its way
The storm is on its way, the storm is on its way
The storm is on its way
Oooh
The storm is on its way
Ooooh oh
The storm is on its way
