Here comes the storm  

By Henry Sparks, UK.

I saw the old straw target has now grown green
They’re tearing down the archer’s house
He fought the war
He works the fields no more
He leaves with a wave of his hand
I saw the corn still stands in the cold grey field
Gulls chase a ten share plough
He was good enough to stand 
For the brotherhood of man
Oh who will take a walk with me

And who will look after your children
It’s not new, everybody knew
Here comes the storm
Here comes the storm
Here comes the storm

I saw the birds on the highwire have no fear
If they fall then they fly
You can only run
And run like hell
You’ll never leave this world alive
I saw Jesus looking up from out of his grave
From his rest six feet down
He smiles and says
It’s too late for tears
You have destroyed your promised land

And who will look after your children
It’s not new, everybody knew
Here comes the storm
Here comes the storm
Here comes the storm

I saw the faithless run
To torture Galileo
With the price of everything
All this money and power
Won’t halt your final hour
Or the howling of the wind

And who will look after your children
It’s not new, everybody knew
Here comes the storm
Here comes the storm
Here comes the storm
Here comes the storm
