Storm-Lyrics:
Hey, hey brother
Do you remember when we were kids with no fear?
Hey, hey sister
Do you believe in the things we dreamt we’d discover?
I still have faith
I still believe in chasing rainbows
[Chorus]
Storms don’t last forever, forever, remember
We can hold our hands together
Through this storm oh oh, through this storm, oh oh
Storms don’t last forever, forever, remember
We can hold our hands together
Through this storm oh oh, through this storm, oh oh
Hey, hey mother
Am I making you proud or could I do better?
Hey, hey father
There’s weight on my shoulders but it’s not over
I still have faith
I still believe in chasing rainbows
