Well the moon moved past Nebraska
And spilled laughter on them cold Dakota hills
And the angels danced on Jacob's stairs
Yeah they danced on Jacob's stairs
There is the silence in the badlands
And over Kansas the whole universe was stilled
With the whisper of a prayer, whisper of a prayer
And a single hawk burst into flight
And in the east the whole horizon is in flame
I feel the thunder in the sky
And see the sky about to rain
And I hear the prairies calling out Your name
I can feel the earth tremble
Beneath the rumbling of the buffalo hooves
And the fury in the pheasant's wings
Yeah there's fury in the pheasant's wings
And it tells me the Lord is in his temple
And there is still a faith
That can make the mountains move
And a love that can make the heavens ring
Yeah I've seen love make Heaven ring
Where the secret rivers meet
beneath the shadow of the Keeper of the plains
I feel the thunder in the sky
And see the sky about to rain
And I hear the prairies calling out Your name
(Bridge)
From the place where morning gathers
You can look sometimes forever till you see
What time may never know
What time may never know
How the Lord takes by its corners
This whole world and shakes us forward and shakes us free
To run wild with the hope
To run wild with the hope
The hope that this thirst will not last long
That it will soon drown in a song not sung in vain
I feel the thunder in the sky
See the sky about to rain
And I hear the prairies calling out your name
And I know this thirst will not last long
That it will soon drown in a song not sung in vain
I feel the thunder in the sky
See the sky about to rain
And I hear the prairies calling out your name.
