The Calm before the Storm II
Jason Marriner 1980 (Pensacola)
I am the calm and she is the Storm
I am strong but she is power in its purest form
When most would be tempted to turn and flee
I find myself drawn to her, captivated by her grace and her majesty
She brings with her an absolutely electrifying air and a beautiful thunder
As she pulls herself in closer, she casts her spell and I am pulled under
As the rain starts to fall upon my face and soaks my skin
I feel a warmth come over me and I hear her voice once again
She's calling out to me, begging me to take control
Asking me to guide her, take her heart and make it whole
She is the Storm raging wildly inside me
I am the calm, her beauty is all I see
She is the Storm growing just beyond my gaze
I am the calm and I am caught beneath her waves
I am the calm but I can be calm no longer
She is the Storm and I only make her stronger
I am the calm and I cannot be denied
She is the Storm and I am lost somewhere deep inside
I am the calm and she is the Storm.....
