Easy, Boy (And We All Prayed Together)

{transcribed by Adri Verhoef, 24-6-2014}

Oh what a terrible day, the third of May
'cause this storm was coming to our shore
We were scared to stay, tried to get away
But no time was left anymore

We went back to our flats, put our son to bed
Then he started to cry, though he didn't no why
And I said: Easy boy
It's gonna be alright, boy
I said: Easy, boy
To him

Then it started to rain, while the snowflakes came
We were powerless against this force
And we looked outside, where people tried to hide
While the wind took its course

Trees broke in two, I thought we'd never get through
I even couldn't hear my crying son was lying near me
And I said: Easy boy
It's gonna be alright, boy
I said: Easy, boy
To him

[chorus]:
And we all prayed together, and we all prayed the same
We prayed to stop this weather, prayed 'Please, not again'

At the end of the night, it seemed to turn out right
Because the storm was dying down
And the morning seemed bright, but when I looked outside
I saw a scene of desolation goin' round

I looked at my son, he was asleep, his fear was gone
His eyes were still red and I remember what I said
And I said: Easy boy
It's gonna be alright, boy
I said: Easy, boy
To him

[chorus] [repeats]
