You hear a lot of talk about -
Dignity - and finding sanity,
These words have such a hollow sound,
But be free - be free with me;
These are the days we have been waiting for so long,
But now is the time to set things right,
Right here at home -

CHORUS:
Distant thunder,
Down along the front,
Don't surrender,
Till we set things right at home,
Mama, mama -
Let me lay down on your breast,
Ol' man thunder, is gonna get you yet.

There is no doorway to the past,
Walk on - just keep moving on,
Only a fool would try to rule the stars,
But be free - just be free with me;
These are the days we have been waiting for so long,
And now is the time to set things right,
Right here at home -

Distant thunder,
Down along the front,
Don't surrender
'Til we set things right at home;
Mama, mama
Let me lay down on your breast,
Ol' man thunder, is gonna get you yet
