Hurricane
Kajsa Vala Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somehow I'm still standing
Though I've been through hell
I'm ready for change and little bit of heaven
And as far as I can tell
I have almost drowned
Damn near run away
I've walked through the flames of the fire and the ashes
Made it through the pouring rain
I am staring into the sun
Calling out your name
There is nowhere to run
When the levee breaks
I'll be washed in the water
And saved by spirit
Baptized
By a hurricane

I will pull this trumpit
I will beat this drum
I'll sing this song for the saints and the sinners
And pray the day will come
And we're all staring into the sun
Calling out your name
There is nowhere to run
When the levee breaks
We'll be washed in the water
And saved by spirit
Baptized
By a hurricane

We're all staring into the sun
Calling out your name
There is nowhere to run
Noo
And we're all staring into the sun
Calling out your name
There is nowhere to run
When the levee breaks
We'll be washed in the water
And saved by spirit




Baptized
By a hurricane
