The Storm Is over Now
R. Kelly Lyrics

I was in a tunnel
I was going through a dark phase in my life

And couldn't see the light
I didn't have hope or a clear path to follow

And whenever I'd look up
Every time I tried to find a way out of my problems

I couldn't see the sky
I could only see darkness and despair

Sometimes when I'm standin'
There were times when I felt exhausted

It seems like I done walked for miles
I felt like I had been going through my troubles for a very long time

And my heart could be cryin'
I was going through emotional pain

Dead in the middle of a smile
Even when I tried to put on a happy face, I was still hurting inside

But then I climbed the hills
I worked hard to overcome my struggles

And saw the mountains
I achieved a higher perspective and could see my problems in a larger context

I hollered help 'cause I was lost
I reached out for help when I couldn't get out of my difficulties alone

Then I felt the strong wind
I experienced a powerful force that helped me move forward

Heard a small voice sayin'
I listened to an inner voice that brought me hope

The storm is over
My difficult time has come to an end

(The storm is over now)
I am finally free of my struggles

And I can see the sunshine
I now have hope and a brighter future

(Somewhere beyond the clouds)
Even though there may still be some challenges ahead

I feel Heaven, yeah
I feel a sense of peace and comfort

(Heaven is over me)
I am surrounded by love and positivity

Come on and set me free, whoa
I am ready to move on and start a new chapter in my life

Now in the midst of my battle
Even though I faced struggles

All hope was gone
I did not have any hope left

Downtown in a rushed crowd
I was in a busy area surrounded by people

And felt all alone
I still felt isolated and lonely

And every now and then
Occasionally

I felt like I would lose my mind
I was struggling with my mental health

I've been racin' for years
I'd been trying to overcome my difficulties for a long time

And still no finish line, oh
It seemed like there was no end to my struggles

Somehow my beginning stepped right in (right in)
I received help when I needed it the most

Then faith became my friend (my friend)
My faith helped me through my struggles

And now I can depend
I know I can trust

On the voices of the wind
I listen to my intuition

When it's sayin' (sayin')
When I hear a message from within

(It's like) It's like, I can see the light, shinin'!
I feel like I am moving towards a better place

Somewhere beyond the clouds
Even though my struggles may not be entirely over yet

Take it down, down
I am becoming more relaxed and calm

Down on me, looks like, I can see the light, shinin'!
It seems like I am moving towards a brighter future

Fear is going, the world's turnin'
I have less fear and more hope

The clouds movin, the sun shinin'
I can see a brighter future

(If that guy can see the light, shine it!)
I am becoming an example of positivity and hope for others

The rain is gone, I made it home
My problems are slowly disappearing as I move towards a brighter future

Rainbow, pot of gold
There is beauty and reward to be found after difficult times

Won't you come and set me free
I am asking for help and support as I continue on my journey

Won't you set me free
I am asking for liberation from my past struggles

(The storm is over now)
I have finally moved on from my difficulties

(Somewhere beyond the clouds)
Even though there may still be some challenges ahead

I'm tellin' you I could see the light
I have hope for a bright future

I can feel Heaven over me, yeah
I feel a sense of peace and positivity

Come and set me free
I am ready to move on and start a new chapter in my life

Won't you come and set me free, yeah
I am asking for help and support on my journey
