Moments Went By

Thunder roaring
Lightning blazing
Rain falling
Sky rolling

The streets are bare
The shops are closed
The windows shut
The doors wont open

A single girl 
Hiding in her room
A single candle
burning bright
A single hope
Being sent out into the storm.

The night went on
And the thunder went on roaring
The lightning went on blazing
The rain went on falling
The sky went on rolling

The little girl fell asleep
at the window
The candle died out
after all that time
The hope sent out into the storm
showing its work, one by one

The thunder stopped roaring
The lightning stopped blazing
The rains stopped falling
The sky stopped rolling

Moments went by 
and the sky was blue
Moments went by 
and the sun came out
Moments went by
the bird songs began
Moments went by
and the little girl woke up
Moments went by
and hopes work was done

Moments went by
