The Storm is Over Now

R. Kelly · Tp-2.Com [2000]

I was in a tunnel

And couldn't see the light

And whenever I'd look up

I couldn't see the sky

Sometimes when I'm standing

It seems like I done walked for miles

And my heart could be cryin'

Dead in the middle of a smile



But then I climbed the hills

And saw the mountains

I hollered help 'cause

I was lost

Then I felt the strong wind

Heard a small voice sayin'



Refrain:

The storm is over

The storm is over now

And I can see the sunshine

Somewhere beyond the clouds

I feel Heaven, yeah

Heaven is over me

Come on and set me free



Now in the midst of my battle

All hope was gone

Downtown in a rushed crowd

And felt all alone

And every now and then

I felt like I would lose my mind

I've been racin' for years

And still no finish line



But then I climbed the hills

And saw the mountains

I hollered help 'cause

I was lost

Then I felt the strong wind

And then a small voice sayin'



Refrain



Somehow my beginning

Stepped right in(Right in)

Then faith became my friend(My friend)

And now I can depend

On the voices of the wind

When it's sayin'

sayin'



Refrain(2x)



Looks I can see the light shining(4x)
