Lyrics

[Verse 1]

And after the storm

I run and run as the rains come

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

Not this mind and not this heart, I won't rot

[PreChorus]

And I took you by the hand

And we stood tall

And remembered our own land

What we lived for

[Chorus]

But 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

[Instrumental]

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

[PreChorus]

And I won't die here alone

And be left there

Well, I guess I'll just go home

Oh, 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

[Chorus]

There will come a time

You'll see, with no more tears

And love will not break your heart

So 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

So dismiss your fears

Get over your hill and see

What you find there

With grace in your heart

And flowers in your hair

[Instrumental]

With grace in your heart

And flowers in your hair
