another hurricane is brewing
inside the lips of the ocean

hope there's not too much destruction this time
I heard a bus has exploded on the way out
I guess it's impossible to out run death

If it's your time,
it's your time.

and what about all those people
who are trying to make it to safety,
will they have enough time
to make it out alive?

If this ocean will stay hushed
just a little bit longer,

Maybe,
we could get those kids outta
harms way.

but we will see who wins this round
Mother or mother nature's son.

I fear the words that are gonna
come out of your lips.

Before you say anything
I ask for your forgiveness,
oh please momma....
