Winds of Change

A song I wrote about a year ago when a hurrricane (Irene) and a tropical storm came through the area I live in. The video explains it a bit more.

"Winds of Change"
J.Lustick-2011

I'm gonna tell you all a story
If it takes my last breath
A tale of guts and glory
People risin' to the test

My family's always lived here
This place is what we've known
Built on laughter and love's tears
A house becomes a home

Through the generations
This is where we belonged
The source of our salvation
And shelter from the storm

Till the winds they started blowin'
Leavin' little time to run
Watched the river overflowin'
Seen the damage that it done

If you feel you're going under
With the rising of the tide
Holding on to one another
Can help you reach the other side

Every lifetime has its moments
That can bring you to your knees
Asking questions to the silence
Finding strength in your beliefs

Gonna tell you all a story
If it takes my last breath
A tale of guts and glory
People risin' to the test
People risin' to the test
People risin' to the test
