If you ever hear that thunder
Put your eye to the sky, boy, and wonder
Maybe there′s a kingdom above the weather
Oh, and whether you're gonna get our name is up to him
If you ever hear that crying
In the distance like some siren
With no ring around their little finger
If I have no choice but to go quiet
Won't you sing for me a melody into the night there
Well, if I die too young, if the wolf he comes
If I die too young, oh, if the locust come
Singing, oh, my Lord, come carry me home
Oh, my Lord, come carry me home
I′m singing oh, my God, oh, my Lord
If I die too young, let all that I've done be remembered
And I′ll sleep easy like baby Jesus in his manger
And I′ll sleep easy like little Jesus, safe from danger
Carry onward, like some songbird, beautiful stranger
Carry onward, like some songbird, beautiful stranger
