& after the storm,
i run & run as the rains come
& i look up, i look up,
on my knees & 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
not this mind & not this heart,
i won’t rot.
& i took you by the hand
& we stood tall,
& remembered our own land,
what we lived for.
& there will come a time, you’ll see, with no more tears.
& love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
get over your hill & see what you find there,
with grace in your heart & 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.
i won’t die alone & be left there.
well i guess i’ll just go home,
oh god knows where.
because death is just so full & man so small.
well i’m scared of what’s behind & what’s before.
& there will come a time, you’ll see, with no more tears.
& love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
get over your hill & see what you find there,
with grace in your heart & flowers in your hair.
& there will come a time, you’ll see, with no more tears.
& love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
get over your hill & see what you find there,
with grace in your heart & flowers in your hair
