look out!

Mama called me to say: Look out!
Tornado’s coming.

I might’ve told her —
Ain’t nothin’ left here
to get blown over.

But I didn’t,
‘cause I got all the hope in the world.

I got flowers
   blooming
      from the tips of my fingers.

I got hearts
   beating
     in the palms of my hands.

I got all the hope in the world, darlin’,
all the hope in the world.
