Storm Boy (Summer Mix) - Xavier Rudd

They burn that hillside black They lay the maple down on it's back For just one stardust stone Sleeping innocent below But they'll run when the warm rain comes Roaring with the thunder I'll rise up from the murky mud When the summer storm begins the flood I'll hide way up high Until the water runs down the pike To wash aside all the parasites And take the valley back alive The Tug flows and the rubbish Floats to hang up on the high oak The power goes to the undergrowth When the summer storm begins to blow Free me, let me go They don't recognize a precious stone I'll lay low 'til the wet wind blows To take me tumblin' down the road The wood vines make it hard to fly The anchor holds my rope down There's no use trying to make it out alive And like a summer storm I've gotta roam

How can I sit With a golden day like this I wanna go Where pink skies never miss And slow it down While the sun and skyline kiss I'm feelin' sick from missin' the seashore With summer fun And always wanting more These cloudy days They never seem to end How many days until the weekend Oooh This summer fever is gettin' to my head Dreaming of the coastline Just tryin' to pretend I'm feelin' sunshine And lettin' go again This summer fever is gettin' to my head Dreaming of the coastline Just tryin' to pretend I'm feelin' sunshine And lettin' go again Welcome back It looks like today We're gonna see clear skies Cool tides and a Hundred percent chance of sunshine So what are you waiting for Grab a friend and head on over To your favorite spot Don't forget to wear plenty of sunscreen And make sure you Enjoy this fine summer day This summer fever is gettin' to my head Dreaming of the coastline Just tryin' to pretend I'm feelin' sunshine And lettin' go again One Two Three Four This summer fever is gettin' to my head Dreaming of the coastline Just tryin' to pretend I'm feelin' sunshine And lettin' go again This summer fever is gettin' to my head Dreaming of the coastline Just tryin' to pretend I'm feelin' sunshine And lettin' go again

Streets full of people With trinkets to share Offering them up for folks in despair Yandi and crystals and oils for growth Of spirit and body and mind as we go Emphasis placed on the body and mind The heart os often somewhere behind Strange Tiny little bones of the innocent child Lookin' up at me with the saddest of eyes Is her innocence in tact? Or has it been stained? Has the creature that feeds her taken it away Strange So sad it's strange I recognize my health Things I have been dealt Places that I have roamed Feelings I've had Things that I know Home, my home Home, my home Home, I'm home Running through the bush And all of the trees Moving in time with my capable speed Skippy ants claw At the edge of the bowl Of the shell of an egg Of bird long since gone Maybe it rose up To spread it's new wings Or maybe it nourished A stronger sibling Strange Places we roam And people we meet Some connections are strong And some of them are weak One or two or three or four Or maybe five or six or more Strong as the roots Of a big old gum tree And we'll carry them through To the next life we see Strange So beautifully strange Recognize my health Things that I have been dealt Places that I have roamed Feelings I've had Things that I know Home, my home Home, my home Home, I'm home

Here I am this is my shelter Here I'm at one with these trees And all these birds sing to my rhythms And these waves they comfort me Do what you will while you're able Find what it is that you seek Only I'll fly, fly, fly above the ocean Fly so high above the sea If it's shelter, you're searching for One that I cannot provide Well, I wish you well on your journey I hope your dreams they come alive I hope your dreams back down and they, they thrive Well, I filled my cup with your answers I filled my cup with your lies You topped it up with your mysteries And all those secrets I denied Do what you will while you're able Find what it is that you seek Only I'll fly, fly, fly above the ocean I will fly so high above the sea If It's shelter, you're searching for One that I cannot provide Well, I wish you well on your journey I hope your dreams they come alive I hope your dreams back down and they Well, they thrive I hope your dreams they come alive Well, I hope your dreams back down and thrive Yeah, now

Hey-ey-ey There's the wind that through the souls of my feet into my lungs go Meditation of an ancient kind Exhaling through my third eye Stand strong in what I know Stand aside from the ego As they day turns into night Through the breeze I hear you cry I believe in you. I believe in you. I will pray for you. I will pray for you. (Believe) I believe in you. I will pray for you. I believe in you (I believe in you) I believe in you (I believe in you) I will pray for you (I will pray for you) Your rivers flow with ease Down the serpent's line once streamed In these hands I hold your light Through these hands, Nanna, I'll guide I'll guide You fuel me from the ground Pulled me up when I was down I believe in you I believe in you Stand strong keep the fire burning I'll stick together Gotta keep the wheels turning Forcin' companies to stand aside Forcin' government to recognize the power of this dragon Stand strong keep the fire burning I'll stick together Gotta keep the wheels turning Forcin' companies to stand aside Forcin' government to recognize the power of this dragon Stand strong keep the fire burning I'll stick together Gotta keep the wheels turning Forcin' companies to stand aside Forcin' government to recognize the power of this dragon I stand strong keep the fire burning I'll stick together Gotta keep the wheels turning Forcin' companies to stand aside Forcin' government to recognize the power of this dragon I stand strong keep the fire burning I'll stick together Gotta keep the wheels turning Forcin' companies to stand aside Forcin' government to recognize the power of this dragon My God (stand strong, keep the fire burning) As I go in my (stick together) darkest days (Keep the wheels turnin') Oh your spirit held me tight (forcin' companies to stand aside) Through the (forcin' government to recognize) wreched days and nights (the power of this dragon) I believe in you And mother I will pray, pray for you
