SONG LYRICS

THE STORM BEFORE THE CALM

This is the storm before the calm

Now is the time to shine the light

This is the death before the birth

It doesn’t matter who is right

We all ride the same wave

From the cradle to the grave

Every breath that we take

Brings us closer to awake

This is the storm before the calm

As we discover we are one

This is the pain before the peace

It’s always darkest before dawn

There is change in the wind

As a whole new world begins

Look around and you’ll see

There’s a whole new way to be

Love thy neighbor, release the fears

The change that’s upon us has been promised for years

This is the storm before the calm

And we can feel it with the heart

This is the blessing not the curse

Now is the time to do our part

We are made from the same mold

Not the story we’ve been told

We can reach for the stars

For the future’s truly ours

Love thy neighbor - that’s all that it takes

To witness the changes that only love makes

This is the storm before the calm

To lift us up above the din

This is the change we knew would come

So take a breath and take it in

Take it in…
