about

In this world that seems to be in turmoil, how do I keep upright? How do I relate to all that is going on? By staying connected to Love.

lyrics

I am standing in the eye of the storm
While the world around me rages
I am standing in the eye of the storm
As I have done for many ages
My feet rooted in the ground
My head held high
Feeling the love that surrounds me
While I watch the rubble fly
I am standing in the eye of the storm

As I watch the anger
Feel the loathing and the hate
I see the colours fading
As I watch me fight my fate
The self-fulfilling prophecy
Created by my mind
Seems to be reflected
In the future of mankind

I am standing in the eye of the storm
While the world around me rages
I am standing in the eye of the storm
As I have done for many ages
My feet rooted in the ground
My head held high
Feeling the love that surrounds me
While I watch the rubble fly
I am standing in the eye of the storm

Will I allow this feeling
To bring me to my knees
Or shall I resist it
And feel a sense of peace
What are my choices
Which way can I go
Will I choose fear and sorrow
Or let my love flow

I see the illness spreading
The sickness and the malice
Poor people are starving
Unheeded by the palace
The Kings, the Queens
The Presidents
The Emperors as well
Require some explaining
At the gates of hell

I am standing in the eye of the storm
While the world around me rages
I am standing in the eye of the storm
As I have done for many ages
My feet rooted in the ground
My head held high
Feeling the love that surrounds me
While I watch the rubble fly
I am standing in the eye of the storm
