[Intro]
Yes
First of all, I'd like to take time out to thank each and every one of you for coming out here tonight
Thank you for your support
And this song is dedicated to each and every one of you
I really want you to listen to the words
Because it's very important that you listen to the words
This is "Storm Away" from the "Bobby" album
Listen

[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
Take the storm away
How long must this world continue to be?
Seems like no one, no one, no onе, no one even carеs
We need to think about our children and what they need
You gotta help me find a way
To take the storm away, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Somebody take the storm away (Somebody take it away)
Somebody take the storm away (Take it away, take it away)
Somebody take the storm away
(Ha, before He comes on) Down
(Before He comes on, before He comes on, on down)
Somebody take the storm away
(No one can do it for us but ourself, baby)
Somebody take the storm away
(We need to rely on each other)
Somebody take the storm away
(And Jesus'll help us, I said Jesus'll help us)
Down
(I said Jesus, take me to the bridge)

[Bridge]
I know we've come too far
But we must (live in a world)
Live in a world (full of love) full of love, oh yeah
I know, I know, I know we can, yeah
Gotta take the storm away, take it away
Come on, y'all, wave your hands in the air
Let's holler, yeah
Break it on down, break it on down, break it down

[Interlude]
Right now, I just wanna talk to all of you all about
Situations that we all go through in life
The things that's wrong with this world today
We need to come together, need to teach our children
Stop fighting amongst each other
And fight the problems that we have
I would tell you right now, I don't think we have too much time
So we gotta work fast
'Cause Jesus is coming real soon (Down)
He's coming down, He's coming down, He's coming down

[Chorus]
Somebody take the storm away (Yeah, yeah)
Somebody take the storm away
(Somebody's gotta take it, somebody's gotta take the storm away)
Somebody take the storm away
(Take it away, before He comes down
Down (Before He comes down, sing it for the people)
Somebody take the storm away (Sing it for the people, ah)
Somebody take the storm away
(Take it away, take it away)
Somebody take the storm away (Ah)
Down (Take it)

[Outro]
We have got to take it away (Down)
Thank you
Peace, I love you
Good night, y'all
