AFTER THIS STORM PASSES
words and music by Kim Wilson (Alador)
We could not have predicted the way events have turned
But had we not been tested, what would have been learned?
Patience is rewarded; they always say it’s true
Who are they anyway, and what are they to you
After this storm passes
We will build anew
We’ll go on like it matters
Perhaps it does to you
After this storm passes
We’ll bask out in the sun
After this storm passes
There’ll be another one
These are just emotions, they do not mean a thing
The only thing that matters, is what tomorrow brings
If mountains are to shadows; as rumors are to blame
Then Questions are to my life, as doorknobs are to rain
CHORUS
There’s a cavern in these mountains
Where my childhood memories lie
And a high pass through these mountains
Where too many soldiers die
There a question I’ve been posing
That’s long been on my mind
Are we exercising freedoms or
Playing roles we’ve been assigned
CHORUS
