[00:12.20]In the eye of a hurricane
[00:14.23]There is quiet
[00:16.95]For just a moment
[00:20.50]A yellow sky
[00:23.92]When I was seventeen a hurricane
[00:26.42]Destroyed my town
[00:28.65]I didn't drown
[00:31.72]I couldn't seem to die
[00:34.57]I wrote my way out
[00:37.50]Wrote everything down far as I could see
[00:42.99]I wrote my way out
[00:46.05]I looked up and the town had its eyes on me
[00:51.78]They passed a plate around
[00:55.09]Total strangers
[00:57.95]Moved to kindness by my story
[01:04.24]Raised enough for me to book passage on a ship that was New York bound...
[01:10.54]I wrote my way out of hell
[01:12.24]I wrote my way to revolution
[01:13.74]I was louder than the crack in the bell
[01:15.78]I wrote Eliza love letters until she fell
[01:18.54]I wrote about The Constitution and defended it well
[01:21.51]And in the face of ignorance and resistance
[01:24.47]I wrote financial systems into existence
[01:27.32]And when my prayers to God were met with indifference
[01:30.02]I picked up a pen, I wrote my own deliverance
[01:33.24]In the eye of a hurricane
[01:35.16]There is quiet
[01:37.87]For just a moment
[01:41.29]A yellow sky
[01:44.88]I was twelve when my mother died
[01:47.22]She was holding me
[01:49.52]We were sick and she was holding me
[01:52.78]I couldn't seem to die
[01:56.18]Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it...
[01:58.40]I'll write my way out...
[02:01.20]Write everything down, far as I can see...
[02:05.46][WASHINTON/
[02:05.83]ELIZA/ANGELICA/
[02:06.16]History has its eyes on you
[02:08.22]I'll write my way out...
[02:10.65]Overwhelm them with honesty
[02:13.16]This is the eye of the hurricane
[02:15.18]This is the only way I can protect my legacy
[02:18.88]Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait...
