After the storm – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
And after the storm
I run and run as the rains come
And I look up, I look up
On my knees and out of luck
I look up
Night has always pushed up day
You must know life to see decay
But I won't rot, I won't rot
On this mind and on this heart
I won't rot
And I took you by the hand
And we stood tall
And remembered our own land
What we lived for
There will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears
Get over your hill and see what you find there
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair
Now I cling to what I knew
I saw exactly what was true
But oh no more
That's why I hold
That's why I hold with all I have
That's why I hold
And, I won't die alone and be left there
Well I guess I'll just go home
Or God knows where
Because, death is just so full and man so small
Well I'm scared of what's behind and what's before
There will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears
Get over your hill and see what you find there
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair
And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears
Get over your hill and see what you find there
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair
