(Verse 1) The storm came out of nowhere, spinning fast The trees are bowing down to meet the blast My dog is at the window, trembling deep While the gale hums a lullaby no one can keep He’s peering through the glass from my lap Watching as the world begins to snap (Chorus) Oh, the power in the air is awesome, wild, and wide The green leaves are turning their silver inside It’s a terrifying beauty, a magnificent sound Turning the whole neighborhood upside down Yeah, turning the whole neighborhood upside down (Verse 2) It wasn’t that long ago the hurricane tore through It split the town in half, broke the spirit too It missed my home by mere feet, took the deck away But mine was one of the lucky ones that stayed A third of the street was nothing but regret A memory of the wreckage we haven't finished yet (Bridge) But the chainsaws roared to life, a steady, rhythmic ring Neighbors pulled together, creating everything We cleared the broken paths, we found our way about Even when the power lines sparked and sputtered out Through the weeks of silence, through the dark and the rain We rebuilt the foundations to move on again (Chorus) Oh, the power in the air is awesome, wild, and wide The green leaves are turning their silver inside It’s a terrifying beauty, a magnificent sound Turning the whole neighborhood upside down (Outro) Now I’m pushing a little girl on a swing in the sun But the wind starts to whistle, and the clouds start to run She looks at the branches, a frightened little thing And asks, “Are we hiding from the Big Burger King?” I pause for a second, then I understand She heard “hurricane” spoken across the broken land But “Burger King” is the name she remembers of that day It’s a ghost in her memory... Yeah, it’s a song we still sing. ----- [Copyright ©️ 2026 by Connect with Stories Studio; All Rights Reserved]
