A man sits staring at the devastation wrought from a mighty storm. He mourns the loss of life and home being suffered by the many, and is saddened that his friends didn't heed his warnings of the storms approach.
Yet, his heart is uplifted by the sight of everyone working together to repair and build once again. After the Storm is a time of opportunity as well as hardship, a time to come together and give support. It is a time of appreciating what really matters and learning how to better prepare for any future challenge.
You are free to love again
Your foolish past gives birth to new wisdom
After the storm
lyrics
After the Storm 11/22/06
There’s nothing I could have said
The momentum was so far ahead
Everyone was counting winnings
There were no misgivings
I could sense a fated turning
The coming storm was churning
The tempest did come at last
It’s damage was swift and quite vast
No one thought to salvage
Lives were left in shambles
Search for the missing in the rubble
Do the heavy lifting fight for survival
Mourn for the dead with deep respect
Live on again after the storm
Build a new life after the storm
Remember how to smile after the storm
Take pride in the new after the storm
Learn what is true after the storm
You are free to love again
Your foolish past gives birth to new wisdom
Bask in the light snuggle in the warm
Cherish all the words of your lover’s support
Savor the joy it’s love’s reward
Feel so fortunate after the storm
Singing in the night after the storm
There’s nothing to fight after the storm
The future’s looking bright after the storm
Anchored and alive after the storm
