Above The Storm

I remember as a child, just sitting on the porch

As the rain poured and the thunder rolled

In the safety and the warmth of my family by my side

I heard my daddy whisper low

Saying it would be alright, telling us to hold on tight

Now when the storms of our misfortune are more than I can bear

His voice, it echoes through me and it sounds like a living prayer

The sun's gonna shine, the rain will stop

The healing wind's gonna fill your heart

My love will keep you safe and warm

Little one, I'll carry you above the storm

I can see it in your eyes, I can feel it in your touch

There's worry in your innocent smile

There's a fire on the wind, there's a change that's gonna come

But I'll be with you every mile

Saying it'll be alright, we'll be walking in the line

So when the darkness of indifference starts blocking out the sun

We'll bind our hearts together and our love will overcome (just remember)

The sun's gonna shine, the rain will stop

The healing wind's gonna fill your heart

My love will keep you safe and warm

Little one, I'll carry you above the storm

Ride every highway, sail every ocean

Don't be afraid to show your emotion

And when you're grown, with kids of your own

Please tell them these words for me

The sun's gonna shine, the rain will stop

The healing wind's gonna fill your heart

My love will keep you safe and warm

The wind's gonna change, our tears will dry

The world will heal, but until that time

My love will keep you safe from harm

Little one, I'll carry you above the storm

Little one, I'm gonna carry you above the storm

Little one, little one, above the storm
