We Are the Storm
Lyrics by Charles Anthony Silvestri

On this horizon there gathers a storm;
Thickening air hangs heavy and warm.
The fields of future lie among us cold and dry
The few among us know not the reason why.
We are lightning; we are thunder;
Generation of wonder!
We are the storm that gathers at last;
We are the future healing the past.
Storm gathers water and fire,
Stirring the earth, lifting it higher,
A storm, its beauty, tempest of light and love,
It's voice of nature below and above.
Storms will heal what divides,
Let us storm and turn the tides!
The earth cries out, ready for rain
The fields of our future grow green again.
Lightning and thunder!
Yakkookay (Thank You)!
