When Will Clouds Part, the Sun Again Shine Bright

Long after the storms of the violent night They wait in the dark, braced for the bad news When will clouds part, the sun again shine bright? First the shock arrives with coming daylight How much will they save, how much will they lose Long after the storms of the violent night. A cold rainy day floods down on the blight Some lost their lives, others with just a bruise When will clouds part, the sun again shine bright? Those who survived hold each other so tight Knowing there’s not much that they can reuse Long after the storms of the violent night. It may take some time to make things just right Through the days ahead they will often muse When will clouds part, the sun again shine bright? With hope and strength they face their plight With the love and help their neighbors infuse Long after the storms of the violent night When will clouds part, the sun again shine bright?
