[Intro]
Down

[Verse 1]
Looking back on when I was a child
Not a care in the world
All I've learned, and all that I know now
Sometimes we go through pain
Please take us from the rain, yeah yeah yeah
How long must this world continue to be?
Seems like no one even cares, yeah
Think about the children and what they need
Help me find a way, yeah yeah
To take the storm away, Yeah

[Chorus: Background & Bobby Brown]
Somebody take the storm away (Somebody take it away, yeah)
Somebody take the storm away (Take it away)
Somebody take the storm away
Before it comes on down, yeah, yeah baby
Somebody take the storm away (Take it away)
Somebody take the storm away (Take it away)
Somebody take the storm away
Before it comes on down, yeah, yeah baby

[Bridge: Bobby Brown]
I know we've come too far
But we must live in a world full of love
I know, I know, I know we can
I know we can take the storm away
Blow, daddy, blow, yeah

[Chorus: Background & Bobby Brown]
Somebody take the storm away (Ow)
Somebody take the storm away (Yeah)
Somebody take the storm away
Down

[Spoken Interlude: Bobby Brown]
You know this world is in definite need for a change
We must ask ourselves:
Do we want all of our kids growing up into a world of hate?
A world of prejudice? A world of heartaches?
A world of drugs and politics?
I don't think so
I think, everybody wants to see the same things happen
We must come together, and live together in this world

[Chorus: Background & Bobby Brown]
Somebody take the storm away
Somebody take the storm away (Somebody take it away, take it away)
Somebody take the storm away (I need you, I need you)
Before it comes on down (Somebody take it away)
Somebody take the storm away (Take it away, take it away)
Somebody take the storm away
Somebody take the storm away

Bobby Brown

The King of New Jack Swing. Bobby Brown has never been afraid to push the envelope – musically, artistically or socially. His sheer bravery and brash honesty are the very characteristics that make him “Bobby Brown” – a pioneering entertainer with over three decades of experience. From his successful debut in New Edition, the boy band prototype for groups like New Kids on the Block, Boyz II Men and the Backstreet Boys, to his multi-platinum career as a solo artist, Brown has left a mark on the music industry that can never be erased.
