Lyrics
After the Storm
After the storm when all that remains
is silence and sunlight in clear pools of rain
We just might have to let go of the pain
and feel good again
And after the flood, after the fight
When you?re not so sure you know what?s right
Summon your strength and brace yourself tight
Let go of the night
The light hurts your eyes
When it?s been too dark too long
You can?t believe in clear skies
After the storm
The light hurts your eyes
When you?re being born
You can?t believe in clear skies
After the storm
And after the war we do what we must
When sunlight illumines the columns of dust
Lay down your weapons and leave them to rust
Learn how to trust
And after the storm when all that remains
Is silence and starlight in clear pools of rain
We just might have to let go of the pain
and feel good again
The light hurts your eyes
When it?s been too dark too long
You can?t believe in clear skies
After the storm
The light hurts your eyes
When you?re being born
You can?t believe in clear skies
After the storm
And after the rain
You have to let go of all you know
When you have overcome
It?s hard to get used to the freedom you?ve won
