I been hearing of a storm on the way
Wind's been blowin' with something to say to me
Say to me
And I've been livin' on the Earth machine
Dust bowl burnin', turnin' the blue-house green
Yeah, turning her green
I've been hearin' the rain fall down
Raising the coast and fillin' the streets downtown
Flooding the town
Planets aligned in a smoky sky
Don't you look up, and baby, don't ask why
Don't ask why
Year after year I hear them say
"If I can't see it, then how can I burn it away?"
Something is changing, no matter the blame
It's been hotter and hotter and hotter each day
Take all the time you need
Until it all comes true
It's the same old disbelief
That keeps us fast, upon this path
And if you can't see it too
Better look around
Summers are fine in this northern town
Don't you look up and don't you dare look down
In a northern town
I've been livin' on hope and prayer
Both of them rising, rising into the air
Into the air
Year after year I hear them say
"If I can't see it, then how can I burn it away?"
Something is changing, no matter the blame
It's been hotter and hotter and hotter each day
Take all the time you need
Until it all comes true
It's the same old disbelief
That keeps us fast, upon this path
And if you can't see it too
Better look around
Better look around
Better look around
