Lyrics
Wind is howling down the street Rain is knocking at my feet Shutters rattle, lights go low But I know where I will go Hold the door steady, hold it tight We will stand through the typhoon night Hold the door steady, hold it strong Morning is coming, won't be long Neighbours gather, candles lit Bread is shared and we all sit Tin roof singing, thunder drums Every one of us is one Hold the door steady, hold it tight We will stand through the typhoon night Hold the door steady, hold it strong Morning is coming, won't be long Let the wind blow, let it roar We have faith behind this door Let the wind blow, let it pass Love is stronger than the glass Hold the door steady, hold it tight We will stand through the typhoon night Hold the door steady, hold it strong Morning is coming, won't be long Hold the door steady Morning is coming
