I can feel the storm is coming
A black and lone kimono at the sunset
Moving at the rhythm of the dance of darkness
Keepin' alive the flame on your chest
Keepin' in balance the tiger and the dragon of the crest
New sensations, feelings never felt
Your effort, your progress, the colour of your belt
Line against a circle, circle against a line
Where you come from? Here it doesn't mind
Kenpo doesn't care if you're the vassal or the king
Your faith, your religion, the colour of your skin
We raise the guard, neutral stance
We hit each other, hug each other, 'cause we're friends
Learning from the black and the white belts
Master to apprentice the wisdom held
Be prepared for the gift of destiny
And everyday a cure for humility
I can feel the storm is coming
While I'm climbing ladders
Can be heard in the distance
The thundering hammers
Grade exam, I recite the creed
Be honest, who you're gonna cheat?
I think if i deserve it, if I got what it takes
I wonder if I've grown and I've learnt from my mistakes
Past and present, L for liar
I keep my lineage Master Parker
Getting wiser day by day
Pushed by the hand of the best Sensei
My bare hands are full of grace
Got hammers, claws, attacking mace
I close my eyes, standing horse
Speed, power, accuracy and force
Leaves, swords, long and short forms
And two wings to face storms
The way is long and sometimes narrow
Don't be afraid, you got a bow'n'arrow
I can feel the storm is coming
While I'm climbing ladders
Can be heard in the distance
The thundering hammers
