The Storm Is over Now
R.Kelly - Tp2.com 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, yeah yeah
Won't you come and set me free, hey

(It's like) It's like, I can see the light, shinin'!
Somewhere beyond the clouds
It's like, I can see the light, shinin'!
Take it down, down
Down on me, looks like, I can see the light, shinin'!
Fear is going, the world's turnin'
The clouds movin, the sun shinin'
(If that guy can see the light, shine it!)
The rain is gone, I made it home
Rainbow, pot of gold

(The storm is over now)
I'm tellin' you I could see the light
(Somewhere beyond the clouds)
I can feel Heaven over me, yeah
(Heaven is over me)

Come and set me free
Come and set me free
Won't you come and set me free, yeah




(The storm is over now)
(Somewhere beyond the clouds)
