Story behind the song
Written by Jerry Weatherton and Teri L. Thompson.
It is part of the continuing saga of the Flood songs I started with "Flash Flood Warning" after drowning my car in an infamous Houston "Thunderstorm".
Lyrics
TERRA FIRMA
Weatherton / Thompson c. 2004
Raging
Rolling
Controlling
I have no clue
Direction is a feeling
Leaving me
Black and Blue
I’m dreaming
I’m clinging
To what we
Used to be
I’m giving
I’m living
To feel you
A part of me
Mother, Mother
I’m calling you
Help your child
get back to
Terra Firma
Take me by the hand
Terra Firma
Playing in your sand
Terra Firma
I’m calling you
Help your child
get back to
Terra Firma
Turning
Twisting
this river
pulls me down
Resisting
Insisting
Telling me
I’ll not be found
I’m dreaming
I’m clinging
To what we used to be
I’m giving
I’m living
To feel you
A part of me
Mother, Mother
I’m calling you
Help your child
get back to
Terra Firma
Take me by the hand
Playing in your sand
Terra Firma
I’m calling you
Help your child
get back to
Terra Firma
Mother, Mother
I’m calling you
Terra Firma
Take me by the hand
Terra Firma
I’m calling you
Help your child
get back to
Terra Firma
Terra Firma
Terra Firma
Terra Firma
Terra Firma…
