Dancing in a Hurricane Lyrics
We are force to live in silence
Eating dust and breathing violence
Keeping all the suffering within
Let me be the one to hold you
Trying hard, remaining hopeful
Making sure your heart is free of sin
In mother's scorn
Blood was born
Where we belong
Our nation's torn
Passage gone
A war unknown to us all
Waiting to see your conviction
Swallowing proud premonitions
Clinging onto hope that slowly dies
Standing in the ruing of nature
Caused by forces born from danger
Cleaning hands where virtues live on ice
In mother's scorn
Blood was born
A war unknown to us all
See the rays of light dance in hurricanes
The essence of our life held within cruel chains
Come and see the day's unsolved history
The mirrors in the eyes are reflecting the fear
We can't hide cruel commands
We will see their last stand
From the heart where we belong
Forever blind to the wasteland beyond
Find security
In this misery
Build a world of death
Hear the fallen prey
In the fire we've ignited thoughts of slaying dreams
In the ashes evil is reborn
Your mortality
Is the highest prize
Your mind's intricate
In a labyrinth turned inside out
In mother's scorn
Blood was born
Where we belong
Our nation's torn
Passage gone
A war unknown to us all
See the rays of light dance in hurricanes
The essence of our life held within cruel chains
Come and see the day's unsolved history
The mirrors in the eyes are reflecting the fear
See the sands of time play with prophecies
We always end up losing to life's guarantee
Barren promises feed on your demise
The challenge to be free is a lost enterprise
We can't hide cruel commands
We will see their last stand
From the heart where we belong
Yet we all know why the cruel commandments came along
Forever blind to the wasteland beyond
Eating dust and breathing violence
Keeping all the suffering within
Let me be the one to hold you
Trying hard, remaining hopeful
Making sure your heart is free of sin
Blood was born
Where we belong
Our nation's torn
Passage gone
A war unknown to us all
Swallowing proud premonitions
Clinging onto hope that slowly dies
Standing in the ruing of nature
Caused by forces born from danger
Cleaning hands where virtues live on ice
Blood was born
A war unknown to us all
The essence of our life held within cruel chains
Come and see the day's unsolved history
The mirrors in the eyes are reflecting the fear
We can't hide cruel commands
We will see their last stand
From the heart where we belong
Forever blind to the wasteland beyond
In this misery
Build a world of death
Hear the fallen prey
In the fire we've ignited thoughts of slaying dreams
In the ashes evil is reborn
Your mortality
Is the highest prize
Your mind's intricate
In a labyrinth turned inside out
Blood was born
Where we belong
Our nation's torn
Passage gone
A war unknown to us all
The essence of our life held within cruel chains
Come and see the day's unsolved history
The mirrors in the eyes are reflecting the fear
See the sands of time play with prophecies
We always end up losing to life's guarantee
Barren promises feed on your demise
The challenge to be free is a lost enterprise
We can't hide cruel commands
We will see their last stand
From the heart where we belong
Yet we all know why the cruel commandments came along
Forever blind to the wasteland beyond

From what I read in an interview, this song is about the refugee crysis. According to Simone, refugee children are literally dancing in the hurricane because they are trying to enjoy their childhood despite of the harsh condition they are forced to live in.
