Well the moon moved past Nebraska

 And spilled laughter on them cold Dakota hills

 And the angels danced on Jacob's stairs

 Yeah they danced on Jacob's stairs

 There is the silence in the badlands

 And over Kansas the whole universe was stilled

 With the whisper of a prayer, whisper of a prayer

 And a single hawk burst into flight

 And in the east the whole horizon is in flame

 I feel the thunder in the sky

 And see the sky about to rain

 And I hear the prairies calling out Your name

I can feel the earth tremble

Beneath the rumbling of the buffalo hooves

And the fury in the pheasant's wings

Yeah there's fury in the pheasant's wings

And it tells me the Lord is in his temple

And there is still a faith

That can make the mountains move

And a love that can make the heavens ring

Yeah I've seen love make Heaven ring

Where the secret rivers meet

beneath the shadow of the Keeper of the plains

I feel the thunder in the sky

And see the sky about to rain

And I hear the prairies calling out Your name

 (Bridge)

From the place where morning gathers

You can look sometimes forever till you see

What time may never know

What time may never know

How the Lord takes by its corners

This whole world and shakes us forward and shakes us free

To run wild with the hope

To run wild with the hope

The hope that this thirst will not last long

That it will soon drown in a song not sung in vain

I feel the thunder in the sky

See the sky about to rain

And I hear the prairies calling out your name

 And I know this thirst will not last long

 That it will soon drown in a song not sung in vain

I feel the thunder in the sky

See the sky about to rain

And I hear the prairies calling out your name.
