Thunderstorm
The Muckers Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I came a long long way
It was early May I left my home
Feel in love with the unknown
Alway afraid to get running behind

But now I'm alone, on my own
Can't you hear the Thunderstorm

They're all going to same direction
Baby give me some motivation
I was too bored trying to catch a breath
Always on the run lost so many things
I miss them a lot but it's time to be a part now

I'm alone on my own
Can't you hear the Thunderstorm

I don't wanna be a part of this
This is not the right place where I'm coming from
Where do we go where do I belong
Uncertainty was our destiny

But now I'm here on my own
Can't you hear the Thunderstorm
