Distant Thunder

You hear a lot of talk about –

Dignity – and finding sanity,

These words have such a hollow sound,

But be free – be free with me;

These are the days we have been waiting for so long,

But now is the time to set things right,

Right here at home –

CHORUS:

Distant thunder,

Down along the front,

Don’t surrender,

Till we set things right at home,

Mama, mama –

Let me lay down on your breast,

Ol’ man thunder, is gonna get you yet.

There is no doorway to the past,

Walk on – just keep moving on,

Only a fool would try to rule the stars,

But be free – just be free with me;

These are the days we have been waiting for so long,

And now is the time to set things right,

Right here at home –

Distant thunder,

Down along the front,

Don’t surrender

‘Til we set things right at home;

Mama, mama

Let me lay down on your breast,

Ol’ man thunder, is gonna get you yet.
