A storm is standing between us,
There is nowhere else to go.
Our thoughts are turning into weapons,
Our words are thunder in the cold.
We came here carrying our anger,
We came here carrying our pride.
Every sentence cuts a little deeper,
Every truth we try to hide.
Let the thunder shake the sky,
Let the rain fall, cold and true.
When the storm has passed us by,
I’ll be waiting here for you.
After the storm, I’ll be waiting for you,
When all our fighting fades away.
After the storm, I’ll be waiting for you,
And we’ll be better from that day.
We’ll have peace, we’ll have love,
We’ll have nothing left to prove.
We’ll leave the anger far behind us,
And start again with something new.
Maybe the words we said in anger
Will teach us how to speak with care.
Maybe every wound between us
Will show us how to meet halfway.
We don’t have to be the same,
We don’t have to think alike.
We just have to keep on walking
Until we find the other side.
Let the thunder shake the sky,
Let the rain fall, cold and true.
When the storm has passed us by,
I’ll be waiting here for you.
After the storm, I’ll be waiting for you,
When all our fighting fades away.
After the storm, I’ll be waiting for you,
And we’ll be better from that day.
We’ll have peace, we’ll have love,
We’ll have nothing left to prove.
We’ll leave the anger far behind us,
And start again with something new.
And when the sky begins to open,
And the rain has finally gone,
We’ll look back at all the damage
And understand what made us strong.
No more swords, no more thunder,
No more words that tear apart.
We’ll walk into the light together,
With a stronger kind of heart.
After the storm, I’ll be waiting for you,
When all our fighting fades away.
After the storm, I’ll be waiting for you,
And we’ll be better from that day.
We’ll have peace, we’ll have love,
We’ll have a brand-new start.
We’ll leave the storm behind us
And begin with stronger hearts.
After the storm, I’ll be waiting…
After the storm, I’ll be there.
We’ll be better, we’ll be stronger,
With more love and less despair.
