The storm outside fantastic pumps life into me Out to the darkened sky, take my hand for a while Electricity, I’m here, strike down on to me… forever Swirl and swirl and swirl and swirl and… I’m on fire, electricity is clean and pure for a while Is pure for a while… Strike down on me, hard and clean Lycia, “The Body Electric” ---

When you walk through a storm Hold your head up high And don’t be afraid of the dark At the end of a storm There’s a golden sky And the sweet silver song of a lark Walk on through the wind Walk on through the rain Though your dreams be tossed and blown Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you’ll never walk alone _You’ll Never Walk Alone.
