About the Song
You probably think of the water cycle as a simple process:

Evaporation → clouds → rain

But there is something hidden inside that cycle: energy.

Every time water evaporates, enormous amounts of energy move from one place to another. As climate change warms the oceans and atmosphere, this energy-transfer system is becoming more powerful—and you may see the consequences right outside your back door.

When a water molecule changes from liquid to vapor, it takes energy with it. That energy is called latent heat.

Approximately:
1 kilogram of evaporated water = about 2.45 megajoules of energy transported into the atmosphere.

That is energy you cannot see.

Dust and danger left behind
Keep your footing, clear your mind

There is still a choice to be
Lean too far and lose your ground
Step back… turn yourself around

About the Song
Barrel / Tube: The hollow space formed inside a hollow rolling wave.

A surfer must precisely match the speed of the wave to stay underneath the breaking lip without getting caught in the falling water or outrunning the curl.

When a surfer rides inside the tube it is called tube riding or getting barreled. Surfers also use slang terms like getting pitted, shacked, or slotted to describe this exact maneuver.

Key Terms Inside the Tube
The Tube / Barrel: The hollow space formed when the crest of the wave curls completely over the face.
The Foam Ball: The turbulent explosion of white water inside the barrel behind the surfer.
The Spit: The blast of compressed air and water vapor that blows out of the barrel opening as it closes.

The storm is moving.

Below…

We wait.

Listening…

(For what became of love?)

Above…

(Above…)

[Refrain]
Rollover
(Under the thunder)

The clouds rollover
(While I’m under)
…listen’ to the thunder
(Fighting lightning)

[Verse 1]
Darkened skies begin to form
Energy builds inside the storm
Winds are shifting, pressure falls
Nature’s voice begins to call

Clouds collide across the sky
Electric rivers passing by
Standing still beneath the gray
Watching power roll away

[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the sound
(Feel the ground)
Storms above
(Circling around)

[Chorus]
Under the thunder
(Under the rain)
Waiting quietly
(Through the change)

Lightning flashes
(Through the night)
Revealing moments
(Of hidden light)

[Instrumental]
[Refrain]
Rollover
(Under the thunder)

The clouds rollover
(While I’m under)
…listen’ to the thunder
(Fighting lightning)

[Guitar Solo]
[Heavy Drums, Thunder Effects, Distorted Guitar, Synth Waves]

[Verse 2]
Atmospheres in constant motion
Patterns shifting, constantly proving
Energy travels across the land
Following nature’s changing hand

[Bridge]
Clouds rollover
(Thunder calls)
Lightning dances
(Above it all)

Stand beneath it
(Watch and learn)
Feel the power
(As seasons turn)

[Breakdown]
[Minimal Beat, Deep Bass, Spoken Vocal]
The storm…

Is not the enemy.

Can’t you see?

(It’s you and me)

[Final Chorus]
Rollover
(Under the thunder)

The clouds rollover
(While I’m under)

Listen’ to the thunder
(Fighting lightning)

Waiting for the morning…

(After the warning)

[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Rain Sounds, Soft Piano, Echo Guitar Fade]
Under…

The thunder…

Still listening…

Still standing.

(Who’s commanding)

The demanding

[Silence]

[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Heavy Guitar Riff, Rolling Bass, Steady Drums, Atmospheric Synth]
[Spoken Vocal]
A role…

Is a responsibility.

A rule…

Role in society.

[Refrain]
Is our role over
(Have we done our bit)
Is our rule over
(Now it’s time to quit)

…quit our bad habitat habit

[Verse 1]
Built a world with endless needs
Growing faster, planting seeds
Taking more than we replace
Leaving footprints on this place

A role was given, a path was shown
A planet shared, a place called home
But progress without reflection
Can create a different direction

[Pre-Chorus]
Look around
(See the signs)
Changing systems
(Changing times)

[Chorus]
Is our role over?
(Or just changing shape?)
Can we recover?
(Can we reshape?)

The rules are shifting
(The game has changed)
A different future
(Is in our range)

[Refrain]
Is our role over
(Have we done our bit)
Is our rule over
(Now it’s time to quit)

…quit our bad habitat habit

[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo]
[Driving Bass, Organ Swells, Powerful Drums, Synth Atmosphere]

[Verse 2]
Habit becomes a way of life
Comfort comes with hidden strife
What seems normal day to day
Can carry costs along the way

Consumption rising, systems strain
Cycles repeat again and again
But awareness can open doors
Toward a balance worth fighting for

[Bridge]
Role over?
(No, evolve)
Rule over?
(Find resolve)

The future asks
(What will we do?)
The answer starts
(With me and you)

[Breakdown]
[Minimal Beat, Deep Bass, Spoken Vocal]
A role…

Isn’t something we lose.

It’s something…

We choose.

[Final Chorus]
Is our role over
(Have we done our bit)
Is our rule over
(Now it’s time to quit)

Quit our bad habitat habit
(Change the way we live)

Find a new direction
(Find a way to give)

Role over…

Or roll forward…

Choice…

our voice!

[Outro]

[Instrumental Outro: Echo Guitar, Organ Fade, Rolling Percussion]

Not over…

Just changing…

A new role…

Begins.

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Crunchy Guitar Riff, Driving Bass, Organ Chords, Heavy Drums]
[Spoken Vocal]
Life…

Will knock you down.

The question is…

Will you come around?

[Refrain]
Rock and…
(Roll over)
Or stand
(And command)

Take responsibility
(For our reality)

[Verse 1]
The world’s still turning, night and day
Waiting for what we might say
Another challenge comes along
Will we face it, will we be strong?

Blame the weather, blame the tide
Truth is harder to divide
Choices echo through the years
Built from courage, built from fears

[Pre-Chorus]
Stand your ground
(Hold the line)
The future’s built
(One choice at a time)

[Chorus]
Rock and…
(Rise again)
Learn the lesson
(Time and again)

[Heavy Bass Groove, Organ Swells, Driving Drums, Arena Guitar]

[Verse 2]
Storms may come and rivers rise
Smoke may fill familiar skies
Problems don’t just disappear
By pretending they aren’t here

[Bridge]
Rock and roll
(Has always been)
About standing up
(Again and again)

Turn it up
(Not away)
Tomorrow starts
(Today)

[Breakdown]
[Minimal Beat, Deep Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Responsibility…

Isn’t a burden.

It’s the moment…

You realize…

You can help shape…

The hairless ape.

[Final Chorus]
Rock and…
(Roll over)
Or stand
(To command)

Take responsibility
(For our reality)

Raise your voice
(Make a stand)
The future isn’t built
(By someone else’s hand)

Rock and…

Roll forward…

Toward…

[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Arena Guitar, Organ Fade, Big Drum Finish]
Rock and…
(Roll over)
Or stand
(Damn demand)
… Take a stand!
