I remember
A time when I was younger
When the north wind blew so hard
It shook the trees out in the yard
And the sky grew dark
At the sound of the thunder
I was headed for cover
My little feet were running to
The safest place they know
My daddy's arms
My daddy's arms (he said)
Child it's only thunder
There's no need to be afraid
For as quickly as it started
This storm's gonna pa** away
But if you're needing peace of mind
C'mon and sit here by my side
And we'll appreciate the wonder
'Cause child you know it's only thunder
Now I'm older
And the storm blows colder
But even when the river's rough
The tide's not strong enough
To pull me away
Cause when the water's rising
I just stop, close my eyes and
Through the pounding of the rain
I hear my Father call my name
And gently say
I hear him say
Child it's only thunder
There's no need to be afraid
For as quickly as it started
This storm's gonna pa** away
But if you're needing peace of mind
C'mon and sit here by my side
And we'll appreciate the wonder
'Cause child you know it's only thunder
