Stormbirds

That's thunder, that's lightning,
And it's going to surround you.
No wonder those stormbirds
Seem to circle around you.
Well, you can't climb down, and you can't sit still....
That's a storm that's going to last until
The final wind blows.......and when the wind blows....
The cradle will rock!

That's thunder, that's lighting,
And it's going to surround you.
No wonder those stormbirds
Seem to circle around you.
Well, you can't climb down, and you can't say "No"
You can't stop the weather, not with all your dough
For when the wind blows.....O when the wind blows.....
The cradle will rock!

--"The Cradle Will Rock" by Narc Blitzstein, 1936
