The thunder cracks, the rain descends
The gulls conspire across the wind
This savage strength can make me cringe
My neck-hairs start to stand on end
I squint my eyes against the flash
The lightning sears the woods in white
Yet just as quickly night returns
My florid fear begins to grow
Until I look at you
Until I see your face
Until I realize
That you are by my side
For I know that you are everything
We run and frolick in the cold
We laugh our dangers in the face
We revel barefoot through the park
My fears, now distant, seem to fade
That's why I look at you
That's why I seek your face
That's why I realize
I'm glad you're by my side
For I know that we are everything
