The Calm

The Calm 

The calmness of the rain 
The gentle winds 
Makes me feel safe within 
Washing things away 
That should've been  gone 
Now I dont feel alone
Washing away mistakes 
Washing away the dirt off the plates 
Come on i  know we can relate 
Do you know the feeling 
When you are willing 
To no longer remain numb 
You have experienced the Calm 

The Calm 
The Calm 
It comes after the storm 
(Repeat 1x)

We've all withered 
Through different weather 
Trying to get ourselves together 
We have had endured the pain 
Covering it up with smiles and laughter 
People never talk about 
What happens after 
What happens after everyone is gone 
And its just you 
Tell me who do you run too
No friends to.pick up 
No one to empty your cup
You put your head in between your palm and somehow you remain calm 
And you start to say 
I trust you God have your way 

The Calm 
The Calm 
It comes after the storm 
(Repeat 1x)

Take a deep breath 
In and out 
Trust him 
Thats what calmness is all about 

The Calm 
The Calm 
It comes after the storm 
(Repeat until chorus fades )
