Subject: Song Challenge: The Great Storm is over
Bob Franke composed the original song of this title back in 1982. It's a good song. However, the chorus keeps resonating in my head and I'm thinking there should be some new verses composed for this year of Democracy revived, thinking of November 3rd voting results. I've added one verse. How about some other ones?

The Great Storm Is Over-2


For four long years we’ve not sighted land;
The captain, he’s not fit to command;
The winds do roar and the waves do roll;
Let’s seize this ship and save our souls!

Chorus:

Alleluia, the great storm is over,
Lift up your wings and fly!
Alleluia, the great storm is over,
Lift up your wings and fly!

Cheerily,
Charlie Ipcar (aka Charley Noble)
