THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORM
© 2017 Grahame Waghorn

Picking my way through the rubble,
It’s plain to see we’re in a world of trouble.
But it’s over now
We’re on the other side of the storm
 
There’s no trace left of our happy home.
We stand in silence, our covers blown,                  
But we’ve made it through                                    
We’re on the other side of the storm
 
Right now it’s calm but we don’t have time to lose.       
Gotta work together and make dead sure  
That we don’t get caught again,                              
By a terrible storm.
 
 
Today I’ll go and dig out my Chevy                                   
Rebuild bridges and repair the levee
It’s a long road home, when
You’re on the other side of the storm
 
This city’s loud, this city’s humming
Buildings rising, a fresh start coming .
We’ll rise again,                                            
On the other side of the storm.
 
We’re making the most of starting over 
Brick by Brick we’re getting closer,  
To making sure that we
Don’t get caught again,
By a terrible storm
 
SOLO
 
You and I are talking again          
Working things out, feeding the flame.   
Trying to make sure that we                                  
Don’t get hurt again,
By a terrible storm.
 
 
We’re gonna build this city again
We’re gonna fight until we win
We’re gonna start all over again
We’re gonna rise up from the flames
We’re gonna build this city again
We’re gonna fight until we win
We’re gonna put things right
Our future’s bright
We won’t get fooled again.
