The storms kept on coming, tracking us down There won't be no sleep tonight, lightning on The ground There are families who are lost, homes are Being torn Mother Nature keeps on making room for Others to be born Momma said "kids, get up, get your clothes on" "Kids, get up, get your clothes on, Storm Comin'" Prayers by the window all through the night Keepin the vigil till the morning light Walk out in the sunshine, glad to be alive Hugging each other with our eyes on the sky Momma said "kids, get up, get your clothes on" "Kids, get up, get your clothes on, Storm Comin'" Never was a troublemaker, didn't mean no harm Just a wasp-nest shaker and a watcher of the storm Momma said, "Kids, get up, get your clothes on" "Y'all, get up, get your clothes on, Storm Comin'" Kids, get up, get your clothes on Kids, get up, get your clothes on There's a storm comin' Get up, get up, get your clothes on Get up, get up Storm Comin'
