Is it over yet?

We'd better go check

Past the door at the top of the stairs

There may not be anything left

I'm a little boy

Sitting in the dark

By the candlelight

I see five other sets of eyes

The house across the road

Was opened up wide

I could see the insides

But we were safe

Though trees fell down

On all sides

Of our house

We were safe

All around

And you had stayed outside to pray

For a hand to push the wind away

I wish that I could talk to you now

That I'm older and I understand

The danger that we were all in

And still are

I'm struck by a memory

Of a girl in Mississippi

Twirling away the hours

Wearing clothes to match the flowers

By the pond

After the storm had passed

Before our lives would all

Start changing again

Is it over yet?

We'd better go check
