Roll with the thunder o He rolls through the thunder and light thunder and the endless sky o He runs through the river so wide rivers and ocean tides if you’re gonna roll better roll with Him you can roll with the thunder or the darkness instead if you’re gonna run better run with Him you gonna run with the devil see how far you can get now o He calls from the highest mountain from the highest in the howling wind o He died and He rose again conquering sin the beginning and end if you’re gonna call better call on him you can call from the mountain or the bottom of the pit if you’re gonna rise better rise with Him you can’t climb with the devil and you know you can’t win you know it if you’re gonna run through the dark unarmed you better pray you come back unharmed you better pray if you’re gonna run through the dark unarmed you better pray you come back unharmed pray If you’re gonna run better run with Him you can roll with the thunder or the darkness instead and if you’re roll better roll with Him if you roll with the devil you know you can’t win you know you can’t win you know
