grady - rolling thunder lyrics
a worried man, i stand alone outside my farm and family
home.
and there i raise my bloodshot eyes and gaze upon a
parchment sky.
my handy work had turned to dust so all my faith in god
i thrust.
now, to tha sky this worried man’s cryin’…
i said…
chorus:
“lord, i’m prayin’ for that rollin’ thunder”.
“lord, i’m under a mountain of sand”.
“lord, i’m prayin’ for that rollin’ thunder”.
and i wonder, can you heal my land?
the wind has spurned the land so hard, majestic fields
of wheat lay charred.
and through this desert camouflage, to me appeared a
cruel mirage
of water from a mountain spring…an end to all my
suffering.
no mercy and no favor earned. my cattle culled and my
bushes burned.
chorus:
“lord, i’m prayin’ for that rollin’ thunder”.
“lord, i’m under a mountain of sand”.
“lord, i’m prayin’ for that rollin’ thunder”.
and i wonder, can you heal my land?
if god demands a sacrifice, tell me. what’s his asking
price?
to the land, i pledged my life. but abraham with his
killin’ knife
has come and claimed this prairie son in the heartland
of saskatchewan.
a farmer earns a livin’ or dies for tryin’.
chorus:
“lord, i’m prayin’ for that rollin’ thunder”.
“lord, i’m under a mountain of sand”.
“lord, i’m prayin’ for that rollin’ thunder”.
and i wonder, can you heal my land?
