[00:12.01] In the eye of a hurricane

[00:14.06] There is quiet

[00:16.38] For just a moment

[00:20.56] A yellow sky

[00:24.06] When I was seventeen a hurricane

[00:26.83] Destroyed my town

[00:28.10] I didn't drown

[00:31.85] I couldn't seem to die

[00:34.10] I wrote my way out

[00:37.34] Wrote everything down far as I could see

[00:43.36] I wrote my way out

[00:45.85] I looked up and the town had its eyes on me

[00:51.44] They passed a plate around

[00:54.41] Total strangers

[00:58.16] Moved to kindness by my story

[01:04.90] Raised enough for me to book passage on a

[01:07.26] Ship that was New York bound

[01:10.54] I wrote my way out of hell

[01:12.27] I wrote my way to revolution

[01:13.76] I was louder than the crack in the bell

[01:15.29] I wrote Eliza love letters until she fell

[01:18.52] I wrote about The Constitution and defended it well

[01:21.00] And in the face of ignorance and resistance

[01:24.02] I wrote financial systems into existence

[01:27.06] And when my prayers to God were met with indifference

[01:29.82] I picked up a pen, I wrote my own deliverance

[01:33.03] In the eye of a hurricane

[01:35.03] There is quiet

[01:37.79] For just a moment

[01:41.52] A yellow sky

[01:45.26] I was twelve when my mother died

[01:47.25] She was holding me

[01:49.52] We were sick and she was holding me

[01:52.54] I couldn't seem to die

[01:55.76] Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it (I'll write my way out)

[01:59.51] Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it (write everything down, far as I can see)

[02:05.24] Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait (history has its eyes on you)

[02:07.50] I'll write my way out

[02:10.50] Overwhelm them with honesty

[02:12.76] This is the eye of the hurricane, this is the only

[02:16.01] Way I can protect my legacy

[02:18.79] Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait
