Whisper in a Hurricane

I can feel the basslines

Pumping to the heart of me

And that golden voice so sweet

Makes me wanna dance, makes me wanna sing

Feverish with anticipation

Waiting at your beck and call

Here comes that old soul

Waiting to tell us all

With a voice so clear you talk to me

Like a whisper in a hurricane

I knew that you would be a poet of our age

Come talk to me real easy with that whisper

A whisper in a hurricane

Man, you have so much to say

With so much wisdom

Running through your veins

You tell it how it is

Not how it should be

You always cut right through

To the very heart of me

With a voice so clear you talk to me

Like a whisper in a hurricane

I knew that you would be a poet of our age

Come talk to me real easy with that whisper

A whisper in a hurricane

The calm that follows the storm

Oh, you weathered through it all

When you persevered

When all the mothers feared in you

Oh, you stood so tall

A man that time won't forget

You didn't care what the other man said

Kept your dignity and pride

Oh, and held us captive with your truthful mind

With a voice so clear you talk to me

Like a whisper in a hurricane

I knew that you would be a poet of our age

Come talk to me real easy

With that whisper in a hurricane

Like a whisper
