Jan Gillies - Hurricane’s Eye

Hurricane’s Eye Jan Gillies

1. As we count our days backwards to equalize time
From death to the present, trying to synchronize
Future expectations we don’t recognize
Like life in a hurricane’s eye
Chorus:
Can’t turn on a light, the piano’s out of tune
Theater’s empty, with plenty of room
But the play’s not been written, & the song has no tune
Or voice, to give it wings.

2. While storms howl around us, I hear gentle rains
As oceans of tears attempt to drown the pain
And the ragged survivors join hands once again
Not knowing the ‘how’ or the ‘why’
But there’s love in a hurricane’s eye
(chorus)
3. Will winds tear us to pieces, or can this storm end?
Let brothers and sisters find family & friends?
Can we subdue the anger on which it depends?
Find a way to fight temperatures rise,
And find peace in a hurricane’s eye?
(chorus – 2X)
