Lyrics
The sky has turned the colour of a bruise The wind is tearing pages from the trees I've stood in thunder, felt the ground go thin And I have learned to hold on to my knees So let it come, let the whole sky break I am steady, I am awake I know the way through the storm I carry my own light Let the lightning take its shape I will walk straight through the night I know the way through the storm Every step is mine When the clouds are done with thunder I'll be standing in the shine The rain is drumming on the roofs of stone The river rises, silver, fast, and wide But I have crossed much deeper waters, friend With nothing but my voice to be my guide So let it come, let the whole sky break I am steady, I am awake I know the way through the storm I carry my own light Let the lightning take its shape I will walk straight through the night I know the way through the storm Every step is mine When the clouds are done with thunder I'll be standing in the shine Hear the timpani of heaven roll Feel it beating in my chest Fear is only music I can answer And I answer with my best I know the way through the storm I carry my own light Let the lightning take its shape I will walk straight through the night I know the way through the storm Every step is mine And the dawn comes breaking golden And I'm standing in the shine I know the way I know the way
