The Storm Is Over
Potter's House Mass Choir Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 standin'
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'

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, whoa

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, oh

But then I climbed the hills
And saw the mountains (Mountains)




I hollered help 'cause I was lost
Then I felt the strong wind
And then a small voice sayin'

The storm is over
(The storm is over now)
And I can see the sunshine
(Somewhere beyond the clouds)
I can feel Heaven, yeah
(Heaven is over me)

Come on and set me free

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')

The storm is over
(The storm is over now)
And I can see the sunshine
(Somewhere beyond the clouds)
I can feel Heaven, yeah
(Heaven is over me)

Won't you come and set me free
Won't you set me free

The storm is over
(The storm is over now)
And I can see the sunshine
(Somewhere beyond the clouds)
I can feel Heaven, yeah
(Heaven is over me)
Won't you come and set me free

Overall Meaning

The Potter's House Mass Choir's song The Storm Is Over is a powerful ballad about overcoming adversity and finding hope amidst despair. The song recounts the experiences of a protagonist who has been through a trying time in their life, symbolized by the storm that they have weathered. Early on in the song, they describe feeling lost and hopeless, with no end in sight. "Sometimes when I'm standin' / It seems like I done walked for miles / And my heart could be cryin' / Dead in the middle of a smile." Despite this, however, they persist in their journey, ultimately finding salvation by climbing the hills and seeing the mountains. At this point, they hear a small voice that tells them that the storm is over, allowing them to see the sunshine and feel freedom once more.


Line by Line Meaning

I was in a tunnel
I was in a dark and difficult place in my life


And couldn't see the light
And couldn't see any hope or positivity in my situation


And whenever I'd look up
And whenever I'd try to find a way out


I couldn't see the sky
I couldn't see any glimpse of a better future


Sometimes when I'm standin'
Sometimes when I'm feeling low and hopeless


It seems like I done walked for miles
It feels like I've been struggling for a very long time


And my heart could be cryin'
And I could be feeling very emotional and distressed


Dead in the middle of a smile
Even when I try to put on a brave face, I can still feel overwhelmed


But then I climbed the hills
But then something changed and I started to overcome my struggles


And saw the mountains
And realized there were bigger and better things waiting for me


I hollered help 'cause I was lost
I asked for help because I didn't know what to do


Then I felt the strong wind
Then I started to feel empowered and inspired


Heard a small voice sayin'
Heard some encouragement and positivity that gave me hope


The storm is over
The hard times are coming to an end


(The storm is over now)
(The hard times are over now)


And I can see the sunshine
And I can see a brighter future


(Somewhere beyond the clouds)
(Somewhere beyond the current difficulties)


I feel Heaven, yeah
I feel a sense of hope and positivity


(Heaven is over me)
(I feel blessed)


Come on and set me free, whoa
I'm ready to move on and embrace the future


Now in the midst of my battle
Now in the middle of my struggles


All hope was gone
I had lost all hope


Downtown in a rushed crowd
Feeling overwhelmed and surrounded by stress and chaos


And felt all alone
And feeling isolated and unsupported


And every now and then
And occasionally


I felt like I would lose my mind
I felt emotionally unstable and uncertain


I've been racin' for years
I've been struggling for a long time


And still no finish line, oh
And it feels like I'm not getting anywhere


Somehow my beginning stepped right in (Right in)
Suddenly something changed for the better


Then faith became my friend (My friend)
I found hope and support in my faith


And now I can depend
And now I can rely


On the voices of the wind
On the encouragement and positivity around me


When it's sayin' (Sayin')
When I'm hearing


Won't you come and set me free
Please help me move on from my struggles


Won't you set me free
Please help me move on from my struggles
