Lyrics
0:12In the eye of a hurricane
0:14There is quiet
0:17For just a moment
0:21A yellow sky
0:24When I was seventeen a hurricane
0:26Destroyed my town
0:28I didn't drown
0:32I couldn't seem to die
0:34I wrote my way out
0:38Wrote everything down far as I could see
0:43I wrote my way out
0:46I looked up and the town had it's eyes on me
0:52They passed a plate around
0:55Total strangers
0:58Moved to kindness by my story
1:04Raised enough for me to book passage on a
1:07Ship that was New York bound
1:11I wrote my way out of hell
1:12I wrote my way to revolution
1:14I was louder than the crack in the bell
1:16I wrote Eliza love letters until she fell
1:18I wrote about the constitution and defended it well
1:22And in the face of ignorance and resistance
1:24I wrote financial systems into existence
1:27And when my prayers to God were met with indifference
1:30I picked up a pen I wrote my own deliverance
1:33In the eye of a hurricane
1:35There is quiet
1:38For just a moment
1:42A yellow sky
1:45I was twelve when my mother died
1:47She was holding me
1:49We were sick and she was holding me
1:52I couldn't seem to die
1:56Wait for it wait for it wait for it
1:58I'll write my way out
1:59Wait for it wait for it wait for it
2:01Write everything down far as I can see
2:05Wait for it wait for it wait for it
2:08I'll write my way out
2:10Overwhelm them with honesty
2:13This is the eye of the hurricane this is the only
2:16Way I can protect my legacy
2:19Wait for it wait for it wait for it wait
2:22The Reynolds Pamphlet
In the eye of a hurricane There is quiet For just a moment A yellow sky When I was seventeen a hurricane Destroyed my town I didn't drown I couldn't seem to die I wrote my way out Wrote everything down far as I could see I wrote my way out I looked up and the town had it's eyes on me They passed a plate around Total strangers Moved to kindness by my story Raised enough for me to book passage on a Ship that was New York bound I wrote my way out of hell I wrote my way to revolution I was louder than the crack in the bell I wrote Eliza love letters until she fell I wrote about the constitution and defended it well And in the face of ignorance and resistance I wrote financial systems into existence And when my prayers to God were met with indifference I picked up a pen I wrote my own deliverance In the eye of a hurricane There is quiet For just a moment A yellow sky I was twelve when my mother died She was holding me We were sick and she was holding me I couldn't seem to die Wait for it wait for it wait for it I'll write my way out Wait for it wait for it wait for it Write everything down far as I can see Wait for it wait for it wait for it I'll write my way out Overwhelm them with honesty This is the eye of the hurricane this is the only Way I can protect my legacy Wait for it wait for it wait for it wait The Reynolds Pamphlet
