Lyrics In the Storm - El DeBarge

In the Storm

is a very, very deep book
If you wind the clock, move the hand and turn the page
You’ll find a few things
Be careful 'cause it can also take your mind with it
(As crack sweeps across America, the hardest hit are the young)
In the storm (To everything there is a season, a time, a purpose, under the sun)
In the storm (A time to be born, a time to die)
In the storm (A time to laugh, a time to cry)
(Time of war, time of peace)
Woah, my brother, don’t turn away, 'cause we gotta help our brother
Mother, mother, don’t stop praying, 'cause we gotta help one another
Woah, my brother, don’t turn away, 'cause we gotta help one another
Oh, my father, don’t stop praying, 'cause we gotta help our brother
See the girl, out on the street
Sellin' her body for food to eat
Mother’s crying, baby’s dying
She won’t give up, she’s gonna keep on trying
Oh, see the boy, going to war
He doesn’t know what he’s fighting for
Help us, Father, don’t turn away
We need you, Lord, we need you today
In the storm (Please, mercy, Father) (Help us, Father)
In the storm (Have mercy)
In the storm (Jesus, mercy, Father)
Oh, don’t turn away, 'cause we gotta help our brother
And mother, mother, don’t stop praying, 'cause we gotta help one another
Woah, my brother, don’t turn away, 'cause we gotta help one another
Oh, my father, don’t stop praying, 'cause we gotta help one another
See the baby, they need love
See the junkies, they need love
See the children, they need love
Oh, woman on the street, all my friends they too need love (Help us, Father)
Oh, see my father, he too needs love (Help us, Jesus)
Oh, my brother, all God’s children need love (Help us, Father)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo, yeah
We need love
Woo, ha, ha
Lord have mercy, woo
Hey
Help us, Father
Help us, Father
Jesus, help us, Father
(Many fear we’re losing a generation to this drug)
Don’t turn away, we gotta help one another
Oh, don’t stop praying, don’t stop sing-, hey
Oh, don’t turn awa-, no, ha, oh
Don’t you know we’re all in the storm together, yes we are
In the storm (Hoo)
Not for long (Hoo)
In the storm (Hoo)
Not for long (Hoo)
In the storm (Hoo)
Not for long (Hoo)
In the storm (Hoo)
Not for long (Hoo)
We’re in the storm (Hold on)
Not for long (Hoo)
In the storm (We're in the storm, hold on)
Not for long (Hoo)
We’re in the storm (Wherever that goes, hold on)
Not for long (Well, hang on in there) (Hoo)
In the storm (We're in the storm, hold on)
Not for long (Hoo)
We’re in the storm (Wherever that goes, hold on)
Not for long (No!) (Hoo)
In the storm (We're in the storm, hold on)
Not for long (Hoo)
It won’t be long, hold on (Hoo)
Never let go, hold on (Hoo)
It won’t be long, hold on (Hoo)
Never let go, hold on (Hoo)
