Hurricane

[00:12.02] In the eye of a hurricane there is quiet
[00:16.93] For just a moment
[00:20.74] A yellow sky
[00:23.84] When I was seventeen, a hurricane destroyed my town
[00:28.51] I didn't drown, I couldn't seem to die
[00:34.47] I wrote my way out
[00:37.68] Wrote everything down far as I could see
[00:43.26] I wrote my way out
[00:46.09] I looked up and the town had its eyes on me
[00:51.97] They passed a plate around
[00:55.15] And total strangers
[00:57.98] Moved to kindness by my story
[01:04.54] Raised enough for me to book passage on a ship
[01:07.32] That was New York bound
[01:10.82] I wrote my way out of hell
[01:12.18] I wrote my way to revolution
[01:13.88] I was louder than the crack in the bell
[01:15.64] I wrote Eliza love letters until she fell
[01:18.56] I wrote about The Constitution and defended it well
[01:21.85] And in the face of ignorance and resistance
[01:24.54] I wrote financial systems into existence
[01:27.20] And when my prayers to God were met with indifference
[01:30.16] I picked up a pen, I wrote my own deliverance
[01:33.11] In the eye of a hurricane there is quiet
[01:37.87] For just a moment
[01:41.53] A yellow sky
[01:45.28] I was twelve when my mother died
[01:47.01] She was holding me
[01:49.64] We were sick, and she was holding me
[01:52.72] I couldn't seem to die
[01:56.01] Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it
[01:58.36] I'll write my way out (Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)
[02:01.16] Write ev'rything down, far as I can see (Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)
[02:06.05] (History has its eyes on you)
[02:08.01] I'll write my way out
[02:10.47] Overwhelm them with honesty
[02:13.02] This is the eye of the hurricane
[02:15.19] This is the only way I can protect my legacy
[02:18.84] Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait
