All night long thunder calls
Can't get away from here
Songbirds calling, sky keeps falling
Ain't no use in fear

Every night it comes back to me
Everything I've seen

Don't ask why I've seen children die
Watched men take their lives
I've seen women cry
My mama always said to wear long sleeves

Pushed through the sand, world in my hand
Drop of water for my soul
Make daddy proud, can't let him down
God, I gotta get back home

Every night it comes back to me
Everything I've seen

Don't ask why I've seen children die
Watched men take their lives
I've seen women cry
My mama always said to wear long sleeves

Don't ask why I've seen children die
Watched men take their lives
I've seen women cry
My mama always said
My mama always said to wear long sleeves
