Storm Raging from LONDON TOWN by Kevin Devine

STORM RAGING, written by Kevin Devine.

VERSE 1

There’s a storm raging somewhere in the world tonight,

And all around us people are looking for a fight.
(but the people say)
 And I won’t be held responsible,
(hear the people say)
 And I won’t be held responsible.

VERSE 2

There’s a child crying somewhere in the world tonight,

While people standby watching all these little children die.

(but the people say)
 And I won’t be held responsible,
(hear the people say)
 And I won’t be held responsible.
No, no, no.

CHORUS

So look them in the eye, don’t leave them alone,

Look them in the eye and smile and bring them on home,

just bring them on home,
So look them in the eye, don’t leave them alone,

Look them in the eye and smile and bring them on home,

Bring them on home, just bring them on home.

VERSE 3

There are people swimming somewhere in the world tonight,

And they find they’re drowning cos they can’t defeat the tide.
(but the people say)
And I won’t be held responsible,
(hear the people say)
And I won’t be held responsible.


CHORUS
So look them in the eye, don’t leave them alone,

Look them in the eye and smile and bring them on home,

just bring them on home,
So look them in the eye, don’t leave them alone,

Look them in the eye and smile and bring them on home,

Bring them on home, just bring them on home.

MIDDLE BIT

(Because there’s rich and there’s poor,)
 With all the wealth in the World,


(Till they have torn us apart)
 For all their diamonds and pearls


(And beat us into the ground)
 With all their knives and their guns

Till all that is left is the sound of their own grasping heart,
Their own grasping hearts, their own grasping hearts.

VERSE 4

There's a bell ringing somewhere in the world tonight.
It's ringing out to tell us someone's end's in sight,
(but the people say)
 I won’t be held responsible,
(hear the people say)
 No I, won’t be held responsible.
There's a soul leaving somewhere in the world tonight,
So listen close and quiet,
And you may even hear them whisper their good-bye.
