Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, oh, yeah
[Verse 2]
I prayed for better days to come
I prayed that I would see the sun
'Cause life is so burdensome
When everyday's a rainy one
[Verse 3]
But suddenly there's no more clouds
And I believe without a doubt
That heaven sent an angel down
Then she turned my life around
[Verse 4]
You know and I know
Friends come and friends go
Storms rise and winds blow
One thing I know for sure
[Verse 5]
When it's cold outside
There's no need to worry 'cause
I'm so warm inside
You give me peace
When the storm's outside
'Cause we're in love I know
It'll be alright
Alright, it's alright
[Verse 6]
Hey, yeah
[Verse 7]
Now peace is so hard to find
We're terrorized and victimized
But that's when I close my eyes
And think of you to ease my mind
[Verse 8]
You take me to another place
There's no more war (No more war)
Just love and grace
Baby you restore my faith
I know this struggle's not in vain
[Verse 9]
You know and I know
Through all the battles
Baghdad to Israel
There's one thing I know for sure
[Verse 10]
When it's cold outside
There's no need to worry 'cause
I'm so warm inside
You give me peace
[Verse 11]
When the storm's outside
'Cause we're in love I know
It'll be alright
[Verse 12]
Alright, it's alright
Alright, it's alright
Alright, it's alright
Alright, it's alright
[Verse 13]
Oh
When it's cold outside
There's no need to worry 'cause
I'm so warm inside
You give me peace
When the storm's outside
'Cause we're in love I know
It'll be alright
Alright, it's alright
[Verse 14]
Oh, it's gonna be alright, yeah
'Cause you give me peace
In the middle of the storm
When it's cold, you're keeping me warm
[Verse 15]
It's alright, it's alright
I'm never gonna leave
You give me what I need
It's alright, it's alright
Hey, hey
