Behind the Clouds
Json Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your back to the wall (wall), you feelin’ the hurt (hurt)
Your head to the sky (sky), your knees to the dirt (dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt)
Why when we going through it right in that moment then
Do we begin to believe that the moment won’t end?
After the sun sets, then won’t the sun rise?
After the rain pours, then won’t the sun shine?
Look at them mothers, pain felt in delivery
Yeah, I just wanna remind you
Your now will be a then, you’ll just look at behind you
Surely the God of all glory
Will take me, break me, and then he’ll restore me (store me)
Hey, so when the sky’s looking gray above
Know his grave was dug just so we can taste his love
Yeah, so stop trying to dodge the raindrops
Hide under his wings and watch the rain stop
[Chorus – Chris Lee]
At the dawn of every new day
Lies a proof that night will fade
And just like a mother forgets her pain
When she sees her baby’s face
As she holds her smile
And the joy my heart contains
Makes it all worthwhile
Even when rain is falling down
You shine behind the clouds
Na na na, na na na, na na na
Na na na na na, na na na …
Whooaaaohh …
Na na na, na na na, na na na
Na na na na na, na na na …
You shine behind the clouds
[Verse 2 – Json]
When it seems like dark clouds are following ya
Know, the very rain makes the trees grow
Oh, as you’re attached to the vine and pruning may hurt
You don’t know what he’s doing at first
He’s truly at work, so you just look the pain in its face
As his strength will carry you through displaying his grace
The favor of faith, you just watch the praise when you’re done
‘Cause after the storms of death came the rays of the sun
[Chorus – Chris Lee]
At the dawn of every new day
Lies a proof that night will fade
And just like a mother forgets her pain
When she sees her baby’s face
As she holds her smile
And the joy my heart contains
Makes it all worthwhile
Even when rain is falling down
You shine behind the clouds
[Bridge – Chris Lee]
Some days this life involves
Things that challenge my heart
You don’t change that’s why I’m staying
You’re with me through it all
So my joy will never leave
‘Cause it provides the strength I need
When it seems the pain won’t go away …
[Chorus – Chris Lee]
At the dawn of every new day
Lies a proof that night will fade
And just like a mother forgets her pain
When she sees her baby’s face
As she holds her smile
And the joy my heart contains
Makes it all worthwhile
Even when rain is falling down
You shine behind the clouds
[Chorus – Chris Lee]
At the dawn of every new day
Lies a proof that night will fade
And just like a mother forgets her pain
When she sees her baby’s face
As she holds her smile
And the joy my heart contains
Makes it all worthwhile
Even when rain is falling down
You shine behind the clouds
Na na na, na na na, na na na
Na na na na na, na na na …
You shine behind the clouds …
Na na na, na na na, na na na
Na na na na na, na na na …
Whooaaaohh …
Na na na, na na na, na na na
Na na na na na, na na na …
You shine behind the clouds
The song "Behind the Clouds" by Json featuring Chris Lee is a powerful reminder that even in the midst of difficulties, there is still hope. The song acknowledges the fact that life can be challenging and painful, but also reminds listeners that there is always a good reason to keep pushing through the struggles. The lyrics speak to the idea that tough times can make us stronger and that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
The song begins by acknowledging the pain that people can feel when they are going through a tough time. The lyrics describe the feeling of having your back against the wall and feeling hurt. The chorus then reminds listeners that even when it seems like the rain is falling down, there is still hope. The dawn of a new day is proof that the night will fade, and the sun will shine once again. The song also compares the pain of difficult times to the pain that a mother might feel during childbirth. Just as the pain eventually becomes a memory, so too will the trials we experience become a thing of the past.
The verses of "Behind the Clouds" continue to reinforce this message of hope. The lyrics talk about the fact that sometimes the things that challenge us the most can also help us grow the most. The pain of pruning can be difficult, but it's necessary to help us reach our true potential. The song speaks to the idea that sometimes we may not understand what God is doing in our lives, but we can trust that He is with us every step of the way. The bridge of the song reminds listeners that joy can be found even in the midst of difficulty.

I just want everybody to know that no matter how big of a hole you dig yourself, God will be with you though everything. When you think thinks cant get any worse just know when you hit rock bottom the only way to go is up. God wouldn't give you anything in life that you couldnt handle. Put you trust in Him and believe that he has a plan for you, because He does.

Man, I spent almost an hour trying to find this song!!

This is how amazing our God is: I’m going through a trial with my wife right now, and was feeling anger towards her and the way she’s been treating me. I prayed that He would take it from me, and when I opened my Bible, He gave me John 16:17-33. Verse 21 reminded me of this song, so I decided to listen to it. Json mentions being attached to the Vine and that God prunes you so you can grow stronger, even though it hurts, which I heard a message about yesterday in church. You can’t tell me that God’s not real, or that He doesn’t love me.
