Natural Disaster

I've been recently enjoying the newest Zac Brown Band CD and one song in particular has me hooked.  The song called "Natural Disaster" has lyrics that remind me of my sweet baby girl, turning two tomorrow.  She's an adventure all her own.

(link to the song if you'd like to hear)




Had lips like candy
Hair flowing like water
Skin like velvet made
The whole wide world slow down

The river was cold
And the river was wide
She flowed from the mountain
Straight across the great divide
And her heart ran cold
But her love runs deep
She's fire on the mountain
Wrecking everyone she meets
Might not be storm clouds in sight
Oh but don't you worry friend
She's coming around the bend
She's holding lightning in both hands

Lord please know
It's that time for me to go
The river has my heart,
She's the keeper of my soul.

On one side of the water,
Sweet everlasting grace,
The other side could end your life,
Or steal your breath away.

She's a natural disaster,
She'll tear the land in two.

She's running to be running,
Cause it's all she knows to do.
She's a tumbleweed a rolling,
A river running wild,
A hurricane blowing,
She's the calm after the storm,
Under an Appalachian sunset sky.
Might not be storm clouds in sight,
Oh but don't you worry friend,
She's coming around the bend,
She's holding lightning in both hands.


My sweet wonder, full of the awe of any natural disaster we could imagine.  All this of course said with tongue in cheek, she just really broke the mold as she is nothing like our laid back other two.  She has blown into our lives and we have been all the better for it.  We have our umbrellas ready for the rain and our sunscreen and sunglasses for the rainbow and the increasing moments of glorious peaceful sunshine.
